Practice Philosophy
"My goal is to provide optimal surgical care for cardiovascular disease. This means much more than providing technical excellence alone. Patients, and their families, must be provided with a thorough understanding of exactly what my recommendations are, what the alternatives are and why a specific treatment is recommended. Once a patient agrees that a particular surgical procedure is the optimal course to pursue, my role becomes one of orchestrating not just the surgical procedure, but also the post-operative care and education that are essential to a full recovery."

Clinical Interests
Valvular and aortic surgery
Cardiac transplantation
