Get to Know Me
What are some of the specific conditions you treat?
Atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, sinusnode dysfunction, atrioventricular block.
What techniques or procedures do you use in your practice?
Pacemaker and defibrillator implantation, including biventricular devices/CRT; ablation, including hybrid ablation for difficult-to-treat atrial fibrillation; cardioversion.
What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?
I believe that patience and empathy are equally as important as knowledge and skills.
I have always been fascinated by how the complex human body works and how to intervene when it doesn't work the way it should. Also, I like that, as a doctor, I’m in a very humanistic role and always working to make others feel better and live longer.
I am also a member of Valley's "Heart Care for Women."
