As a cardiac surgeon, my utmost priority is delivering the finest care possible—the very kind of care I would wish for my own family. I understand that the prospect of heart surgery can be frightening for both patients and their loved ones. That’s why I am dedicated to providing not only exceptional physical treatment but also supporting you throughout your journey. Together, we will ensure you receive comprehensive and compassionate care every step of the way.
I grew up in a rural part of upstate NY. I have always enjoyed being outdoors, hiking, biking and being on the water. I am married with two beautiful stepdaughters.
