I approach every patient-doctor relationship as a partnership built on a foundation of mutual respect and understanding. My job as your cardiologist is not to tell you what to do but rather to provide you with the most up-to-date and evidence-based recommendations that I can, and together we will formulate a treatment plan that is consistent with your preferences and goals.

Clinical Interests
I have conducted extensive research looking into the ways in which energy metabolism changes in heart failure. I have a specific interest in prevention and the ways in which lifestyle (body weight, diet, exercise) contributes to cardiovascular risk over the course of a person’s life.
Personal Interests
Running, skiing, cooking, listening to music, traveling.
