Philosophy of Care

I believe in taking time to explain to the patient, the scientific basis of each cardiovascular condition, so the patient has a better understanding and invests in their own health. I believe in prevention of cardiovascular illnesses and by encouraging a partnership with the patient, help them build a sustainable plan for prevention. I strongly believe in hope, and in this era of cutting edge medicine, empower my patients so they can better control their cardiovascular conditions.
