Biography

I have a special expertise in caring for patients that have cardiac disease that require anesthesia and surgery. I also enjoy providing anesthesia for patients having electrophyiologic procedures. I have a background in cardiology as well as anesthesiology which is somewhat unique. I have practiced critical care medicine as well and thrive on caring for some of our most critically ill patients. I have participated in a number of research studies and try to stay on the cutting edge of clinical care and medical research in my field.
