General Info

About me

I have always had a great interest in science and a profound desire to help others and alleviate their pain. The only profession that would allow me to combine these two aspirations is medicine. Cardiology is special. It is a science and an art. A complete comprehensive physical exam allows us to obtain a clear and physiological understanding of illnesses. Additionally, my subspecialty as an interventional cardiologist allows me to treat patients in multiple clinical situations covering the entire cardiovascular spectrum. Cardiology continues to progress rapidly as there are constantly new challenges with technological advancements every day. These advancements allow us to be able to help more patients by improving their cardiovascular prognostic and therefore their quality of life.
