BIOGRAPHY:
I believe that the doctor-patient relationship is a partnership with a goal of better health and quality of life. I work as a part of a team that includes physician assistants and nurses. My special interests include primary prevention of cardiac disease, women's heart disease and valvular disease. I also have specific training in echocardiography and nuclear imaging of the heart. Outside of work my joys are my husband, our two sons, our two cats and our very spoiled bichon frise. I enjoy good books, gardening and cooking.
