Welcome to My Practice

Thank you for taking the time to visit my clinic office today.

Cardiology is an ever-expanding field of medicine. Over the past several years, my practice has become focused on diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease in both the inpatient and outpatient areas.

In addition to my practice in a clinical setting, my practice includes both angiogram and angioplasty procedures as well.

My Background

I graduated from Rush Medical College in Chicago in 1981. I completed my internship and residency at Jewish Hospital/Washington University in St. Louis in 1984. The next year I was Chief Resident in Internal Medicine at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. I then finished my training at Mount Zion Hospital, which was an affiliate of University of California/San Francisco, in 1988.

After training in Chicago, Saint Louis and San Francisco, I joined the Permanente Medical Group in 1988. My clinic is located in the 2 north building on the 2nd floor.

I am board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Interventional Cardiology.

My Philosophy

My practice philosophy is to educate patients about their condition so they can make an informed choice regarding their treatment options. I also expect my patients to be active participants in this process.

My Interests

I take a professional interest in making every effort to ensure that at each visit you are given current recommendations and are informed as to the best treatment options possible.

My personal interests include spending time with my two daughters.

My Recommendations

Many people will develop cardiac conditions during ones' lifetime. Leading a healthy lifestyle is important to living well. Most cardiac conditions can be effectively managed by a combination of nutritional attention, exercise, weight management, medication and a healthy outlook.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
