About me

  • Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)

I am a cardiac electrophysiologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias). I care for patients with all types of arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular tachycardia, and bradyarrhythmias. My approach to care includes both medical management and advanced electrophysiologic procedures. I perform catheter ablations to correct abnormal heart rhythms and implant cardiac devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators when needed to help manage or prevent arrhythmias. My goal is to provide personalized, evidence-based care to improve each patient's heart rhythm health and overall well-being.
