About Me
What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?
I wanted to be a doctor because, as a Physician, you can have a tremendous impact on the health and wellbeing of another individual.
What do you love most about your specialty? / Why did you choose your specialty?
A great deal of Heart Disease is caused by unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. I chose to pursue Cardiology because one has the ability to help people modify their lifestyle and help patients prevent Heart Disease.
How do you connect with your patients?
I connect with my patients by being an active listener and understanding their concerns.
What are your interests outside of the office (hobbies, activities)?
I love to spend time with my wife and three beautiful children. I also enjoy running and cooking.
What is your advice for your patients?
I try and spend a great deal of time talking with my patients about nutrition, exercise, stress and other health behaviors.
