About Me

I am a board-certified interventional cardiologist who specializes in the care of patients with complex valvular heart disease and complex coronary artery disease. I was previously in an academic practice as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center prior to being recruited to CaroMont Heart & Vascular to lead the Structural Heart Team. I put an emphasis on providing compassionate, coordinated care in order to improve my patients' health-related quality of life.
