About Me
care philosophy
I am conservative on testing. I spend a lot of time on the initial interview and put in the time to retrieve all the patient's prior pertinent cardiac records. I prefer that the patients who come to see me have their own medical doctor with whom I can work with in caring for the patient.biography
Graduated cum laude from New York University.Went to New York University School of Medicine.
