Summary

  • I am an interventional cardiovascular specialist at Ascension Saint Thomas Heart in Murfreesboro and Nashville, Tennessee, USA. I am an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and core faculty in our Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship program.

    My main clinical interests include complex coronary interventions, coronary microvascular dysfunction, critical limb ischemia, management of complex peripheral arterial disease and deep venous interventions.

    I am passionate about innovation in cardiovascular interventions to optimize procedural safety and clinical outcomes, while minimizing invasiveness of interventional techniques.

    I am also a strong believer in prevention of cardiovascular disease, through dietary optimization, lifestyle modifications and medical therapy.
