Philosophy of Care

I believe in evidence based, guideline directed, precision care to help patients achieve their goal of overcoming cardiovascular disease and living longer, healthier, happier lives. In addition to this, I try to remember that each patient is unique, with his/her own unique set of circumstances, past experiences, and responses to therapy. As a physician, I put myself on the other side of the exam room, and begin to ascertain each individual’s particular needs. Through compassion, empathy, availability, and prompt communication, I build a partnership with each patient to get to the ultimate goal of good cardiovascular health and quality of life. I have been honored to live here in this community with my wife Sophia (also a physician) and my two young children.
