Summary
Caring for patients and their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing is my calling. A particular passion of mine is managing patients with complex and chronic cardiovascular disease by applying evidence-based and cutting edge medicine to improve outcomes, and delay or reverse disease progression. I also aim to emphasize culturally sensitive and practical patient-centered education to encourage compliance and active patient participation in efforts to improve and sustain health.
