About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy of care is centered around ensuring the well-being and health of my patients with heart rhythm disorders. My role is to diagnose and treat these conditions, with a focus on minimally invasive approaches whenever possible. My ultimate goal is to prevent and treat disorders that can lead to serious complications such as stroke, heart failure and sudden cardiac death. I also educate my patients about their condition and treatment options, empowering them to make informed decisions and actively manage their health. Lastly, I seek ways to advance my field through research and innovation, always striving to provide the highest quality of medical care.
Why I entered medicine
Growing up, I saw the impact illnesses and health issues had on members of my own family, so I pursued a career that allows me to make a difference in people's lives. As a physician, I am deeply committed to the care and treatment of my patients, and I am inspired by the amazing progress we are making in the field of medicine. Whether I am using the latest technologies to cure patients or providing compassionate care to help them through difficult times, I am driven by my love for medicine and my desire to make a difference.
Personal interests
I spend most of my free time with my two boys and my spouse. I find joy in engaging with them in different activities, especially sports and outdoor adventures; it helps to strengthen our bond and create lasting memories. I also have enjoyed working on cars.
