“I am grateful to be able to use my skills and knowledge to help people live longer and healthier lives by managing the electrical disturbances of their hearts.

Abnormal heart rhythms can be complex medical puzzles, but it is a privilege to work together with our patients to diagnose and treat these conditions and improve their symptoms and quality of life.”
