About
Philosophy of care
My goal as a cardiologist is to educate my patients about heart disease and prevention to improve their overall health and well-being. I will do my best to explain cardiac procedures and show empathy toward patient care.
Why I entered medicine
In college, I enjoyed health sciences such as anatomy and physiology. As a child, I loved to play video games and sports. Interventional cardiology requires precise hand-eye coordination, a skill I learned from my childhood hobbies.
Community involvement
I am involved with CORE (Community Organized Resuscitation Education) and the goal is to train others in our community about CPR to help save lives.
Personal interests
When I am not in the hospital, you can find me exercising, reading up on cars, or watching sports. I enjoy traveling and hiking with my wife and our family.
