Care Philosophy
As a cardiologist, my care philosophy is based on a patient-centric approach, which focuses on comprehensive and preventative cardiovascular care. My focus is on evidence-based medicine with shared decision making to ensure that my patients receive the most effective treatments available. I also strive to teach my patients and help them to understand their underlying conditions while empowering them to become an active part of their care management. I strongly believe in collaborating with other healthcare professionals to provide a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, focusing on long-term wellness and disease prevention.
