Personal Statement:

I have been singularly focused on understanding coronary artery disease since I learned at the age of 6 that my grandfather died from a heart attack. I began research at the age of 18 and have incorporated years of translational research and clinical care to bring the best evidence-based therapies to my patients. By discussing all potential treatment options, including novel technologies and immune-targeted therapies, I strive to give my patients the best possible care, as I would for any member of my family.
Surprising/Interesting Fact:

I treated Justice Ruth Batter Ginsburg during her heart attack and opened her right coronary artery. I don't think I have ever been so nervous.
