Welcome and thank you for visiting me today.
Practice Philosophy /Approach
I believe in aggressive risk factor modification for heart disease. This includes improving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise, education, and diet. Medication is often necessary in order to control such risk factors as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. In some instances, invasive procedural therapies may be the best treatment for a cardiovascular condition when the potential benefits appear to outweigh the potential risk of the procedure. This is a key decision making process in which I like to involve the patient, such that my recommendations and the patient’s ultimate decision result in the best care possible.
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.
- In addition to being trained in non-invasive Cardiology (nuclear perfusion imaging, echocardiography, stress testing, etc.), I specialize in cardiac and vascular intervention (performing angiography, angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy, valvuloplasty, etc.), involving the heart, as well as the other arteries of the body (carotid, renal, femoral, etc.).
- Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball, golfing, watching movies, going to the beach, and spending time with my family. I am a native Californian, raised in the Bay Area.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. 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.
