My Approach to Healthcare
As a congenital heart surgeon specializing in patients with congenital heart defects from newborn to adulthood, my practice demands perfect unison of head, heart and hands for optimal outcomes. My training and work experience form three different continents puts me in perfect shape to deliver the most appropriate care to this subset of patients which includes VAD implantation and heart transplantation. My approach is to deliver tailored care with a sharp scientific mind, in an empathetic and compassionate manner keeping the patient's medical and social needs at the forefront of all decision making during their hospital stay.
