Philosophy of Care

"Many cardiovascular events can be prevented. I stress prevention to my patients who are at risk of having a cardiac event. To those that have already had a cardiac event, I try to work on preventing another one from occurring by helping them to incorporate healthy lifestyle changes and, if indicated, medication.

"I care deeply for each one of my patients' overall well-being and emphasize the importance of understanding that overall health is important to cardiovascular health.

"I'm open to all cardiovascular disease referrals and pledge to work in conjunction with my referring physicians to achieve the overall best health of their patients."
