Summary

I am currently the chief cardiac surgeon and surgery structural heart specialist at Bon Secours Mercy Health, the largest health care organization throughout Northwestern OH and branching into southeastern MI. My primary practice location is the Bon Secours Mercy Health Regional Heart and Vascular Center at St. Vincent's Hospital in Toledo but also practice at St. Ann's and St. Charles hospitals in the greater Toledo area of the ministry and now branching into the Perrysburg region.

I specialize in any type of coronary surgery including high risk and all arterial revascularization in the young as well as aortic valve and mitral valve repair and replacements and adult congenital heart surgery. I have been in practice for 9 years with almost 2000 cases on record and an established record of high quality outcomes.
