I am a full time clinical electrophysiologist in practice in Charlotte since 1996. While my primary area of focus is in EP, I maintain a broad clinical practice including all aspects of general cardiology, including heart failure and ischemic heart disease. I am Board Certified in Clinical Cardiac EP, Adult Clinical Cardiology, and Internal Medicine.
I have had extensive experience in practice management and governance, having as president of our practice of 36 cardiologists from January of 2011 - December 2013. I have been (and remain) a Board member of our group since 2000.
