About Me
My approach to care is patient-centered, focusing on evidence-based, high-quality treatment in a compassionate setting. I believe in treating every patient as I would my own family while delivering advanced care in a community hospital.
I find fulfillment in providing life-saving care to high-risk patients, allowing them to live full lives, and cherish the gratitude I receive from patients and their families.
I was inspired to pursue a career in medicine by my father, a well-loved surgeon in New York City, whose passion for the profession deeply influenced me. My interest in cardiothoracic surgery grew from my experience as director of a Community Hospital program in Maryland, which helped me develop strategies for achieving excellent outcomes in smaller, suburban centers.
