General Info

I am a board-certified specialist in cardiology who joined St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2012. I am a noninvasive cardiologist — a physician who specializes in the comprehensive care of cardiac patients while they are in the hospital as well as the outpatient setting. I currently focus on Primary Prevention, with the goal of controlling risk factors and preventing heart disease before it begins. It is my belief that a person should understand his/her disease, and therefore education is a major part of my patient care. As part of a multidisciplinary group, my colleagues and I offer patients a team approach to treating coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure. I am also interested in Women’s Heart Disease and am one of the principal cardiologists of the Women’s Heart Center. I firmly believe that we are in a very exciting and progressive time in medicine. Many of the innovative resources, medicines, and treatment options are available at St. Luke’s, and I am proud to be a part of this superior team.
