He is a member of the American College of Cardiology and Heart Rhythm Society.

"The doctors we remember are those …that we really connect with. A large part of what I do is to try to make those connections with my patients and their families. My role as an electrophysiologist is to guide my patients through their decisions around medical care. I treat my patients with the same level of care that I would provide my own family. I'm available for any and all electrophysiology referrals and look forward to collaborating with referring physicians."
