My —
As a patient advocate and nutrition focused cardiologist in Tampa, I’ve met many people who felt a disconnect between their expectations and the care provided by their physicians. Some feel doctors don’t listen to them, others are not getting the medical explanations they deserve. I’ve found this divide often breaks the trust needed to form the foundation of a strong healthcare partnership.
In my practice, cardiac disease is addressed with an evidence-based approach keeping your needs and expectations in mind. Together, we will work to form a tailored diagnostic and treatment plan using the latest innovation and technology available.
My thought process with clearly outlined goals, risks, and alternative options will be explained. Most importantly, I will strive to always treat you with respect while empowering you to transform your health.

Cardiovascular Disease
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Our practice focuses on an evidence-based-approach in the treatment of many heart conditions often in conjunction with an interdisciplinary group of experts. We will also work to communicate efficiently with all members of your healthcare team.
Interventional Cardiology
Specializing in a "radial first" minimally invasive approach through the wrist to make the diagnosis of coronary atherosclerosis by angiography. We provide treatment of coronary arteries and bypass grafts utilizing a state of the art catheterization laboratory and techniques including intravascular ultrasound and other imaging modalities.
Vascular Disease
Systemic arterial and venous disease is a common circulatory problem affecting many patients with cardiac disease. Symptoms of painful, crampy, or itchy legs can often be the first sign of underlying issues. The diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease can be made in in our office using minimally invasive technology.
2D / 3D Cardiac Ultrasound
Echocardiography allows visualization of cardiac structures, valves, cardiac walls and the velocity of blood flow at certain points in the heart. We use the latest in 3D imaging to evaluate valves and other parts of the heart. This non-invasive test can be done comfortably in our clinic by one of our experienced sonographers.
Nuclear Cardiac Imaging
Cardiac nuclear medicine imaging evaluates the heart for coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathy. It can also be used to help determine if the heart has been damaged by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The images obtained provide unique information that often cannot be obtained using other imaging procedures.
