Practice Philosophy
"I strive to provide the best possible care to my patients who require cardio-thoracic surgery. I work with each patient and their families to explore the disease process and to try to connect with body, mind and spirit. By treating the patient as a whole rather than simply treating the disease, I believe that I am offering my patients "total patient care." Patients are offered the maximum options available to them so that they can make informed decisions about their care."
