About
I became a physician because science and physiology were what interested me most. I volunteered at hospitals as a teenager, and was able to see patient care and doctor-patient interactions up close. The practical aspect of applying what I learned in school got me on the path to medicine.
I decided to pursue cardiology because, during my medical training, it was the specialty where I saw people get better the fastest as a response to treatment. As a cardiologist, the care I provide can make an immediate impact – people often tell me they’re breathing and feeling better right after a cardiac procedure.
I’m familiar with the Tucson community, and feel invested in caring for people in our region.
First and foremost, I strive to get to know everyone who comes to me for care – and to make sure they understand that I see them as individuals first and patients second. They’re not numbers; they’re people with families. I want them to be comfortable and confident in their care plan and follow-up visits, and feel free to ask questions.
When I’m not with patients, I’m enjoying family time or playing sports, including running, tennis and golf.
