Practice Philosophy
"I have always understood that people want local access to good medical care, without having to travel hundreds of miles to see a specialist. Maybe it's because I grew up in a small town myself in northwestern Minnesota. I am delighted to bring the expertise of a nationally recognized heart program to patients in their home communities
