About Me
My approach to care empowers patients to make informed decisions with confidence. I ensure patients and their families fully understand their condition and treatment options by providing detailed discussions on surgical procedures, potential risks and expected outcomes.
Building meaningful relationships with my patients is important to me.
I take the time to understand their concerns, goals and personal stories, which allows me to provide care that aligns with their individual needs.
I was drawn to cardiac surgery by its complexity, precision and the opportunity to make a life-saving impact. The ability to restore heart function through procedures like coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair and replacement fascinates me. I enjoy the technical challenges and the chance to help patients regain their health and quality of life.
