Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I am a great listener, caring and compassionate. I will address your specific healthcare concerns and 'with you' formulate a plan to help you achieve optimal cardiac health.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you?
Excellent communication and a trustworthy relationship. When you leave the office I want you to feel well-informed about your specific cardiac health problem and the treatments available. I will always work in your best interest to help you achieve the best health possible.

How do you spend your personal time when not caring for patients?
Spending quality time with my family is something I deeply treasure. I love cooking & being outside biking, running, or playing tennis/pickleball. I also love watching a beautiful sunrise or sunset!

Why did you choose your specialty and what is the greatest reward?
I have been involved in caring for patients with cardiac health disease since 1993. My grandmother had congestive heart failure and my passion for cardiac health grew out of watching her manage her cardiac illness. The greatest reward is when a patient comes back to me for follow-up and I see, and/or they tell me, how much better they feel.  To be able to provide high-quality care & make a difference in a person's life is truly one of the greatest gifts!
