Summary

I am a board certified Cardiothoracic Surgeon trained at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I graduated from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. My vocation is in all facets of cardiac surgery but I have a particular passion and expertise in complex valve repairs and multivalve operations. I perform all arterial CABG and aneurysm resections.
