I firmly believe in practicing evidence based medicine, but also realize that treatment needs to be specifically tailored to each individual patient's wants and needs.
I also believe that my role as a Cardiologist is not only to be a specialist in preventive medicine and the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases, but to also treat each of my patients with the utmost respect and kindness he or she deserves.
Carefully listening and allowing adequate time to discuss any of my patient's concerns regarding his or her care, symptoms, diagnosis, medications, and plans are all vitally important to me.
My wife and I have been married over 17 years and enjoy spending time with our children and family. My family and I also enjoy exercising, tennis, sailing, mountain climbing, and traveling.
