Summary

  • I have been in practice doing Adult Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery. It is important to be able to care for patients in their own home town. I have started 4 heart programs from scratch. I am a good organizer and facilitator when allowed to do this. I enjoy talking to and taking care of my patients. I treat each of the patients as if they are my family.
