Summary
- I am a board-certified cardiologist with specialty training in critical care medicine as well as congestive heart failure and preventive cardiology. I am currently on staff at Cedars-Sinai medical center as a member of the heart Institute and I'm also on staff at UCLA Ronald Reagan hospital. In addition to my clinical practice I also serve as an investigator in several cardiovascular clinical trials and serve on the board of the southern California American heart association and American College of Cardiology. Furthermore I have had original research published and cited in several top-tier scientific journals in the areas of heart failure, atherosclerosis, and inflammation. These works for sponsored by either pharmaceutical grants, awards, or peer review funding by both the American heart association and the NIH. Finally I have been retained and testified as a medical and scientific expert in both individual litigations nationwide class action suits involving major healthcare organizations and pharmaceutical corporations. As a result of my southern California location I have enjoyed a close relationship with the Hollywood entertainment and music community promoting good health, education, awareness, equanimity, and egalitarianism as every heartbeat matters as we weather the storm of uncertain times in our strive to equally provide healthcare in our battle against cardiovascular disease.
