I am a fellowship-trained, board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon specializing in innovative conventional and minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques. I believe strongly in a patient-centric and multidisciplinary approach to care; emphasizing that the best results demand a team. I feel it is imperative that the patient and family members always remain my central focus and most important members of that team. My commitment to my patients as life-long, and I strive to assure they understand they can rely on me for their care long after they have recovered from surgery.
