About Me
I am a cardiologist at Memorial Cardiac and Vascular Institute, where I care for patients with hypertension, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, valvular disease and basic arrhythmias.
My father is also a cardiologist, and watching him care for patients inspired me to follow a similar path. Over time, I became fascinated by the complexity of cardiology and its full spectrum, ranging from prevention to the management of chronic conditions.
What I enjoy most about my work is the balance of science and human connection. Cardiology can be highly complex, but translating data, labs and imaging into clear, meaningful information for patients is deeply rewarding. Working alongside a multidisciplinary team enhances this process, ensuring each patient receives thoughtful and well-rounded care.
At a first visit, patients can expect to share their detailed history, discuss their goals and current concerns, and leave with a clear plan and an understanding of why each step is being taken. My goal is for patients to feel informed, supported and confident as we move forward in their care.
I also enjoy taking on leadership roles and served as chief fellow during my cardiology training and chief resident during my internal medicine residency.
