I am a Board-Certified cardiologist with a preventative whole person approach, with a growing experience in managing in autonomic dysfunction and the associated joint hypermobility and mast cell disorders which are prevalent but often unrecognized because of insufficient education of healthcare providers.

My broad international training in several medical fields have allowed me to keep an open mind to using a holistic approach to partner with patients in addressing their medical concerns.

I enjoy educating the general public and patients on medical issues through the internet to give general guidance with an emphasis on my tag line, 'Prevention Works'!
