    Philosophy of Care:

    I view cardiac care as both an art and a science. Every patient is unique, and treatment must be tailored to fit their individual risks, goals, and lifestyle. Through collaboration and compassion, I aim to deliver state-of-the-art, minimally invasive care that enhances both survival and quality of life.

    Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), structural heart interventions, valve repair, coronary artery disease, and ventricular assist device implantation.
