About Me
I am a board-certified cardiac electrophysiologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in diagnosing and treating complex heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and other arrhythmias, using advanced electrophysiological techniques and device therapies.
My patients can rely on me for high quality, compassionate care and honest communication in every encounter. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of cardiovascular experts to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and values.
I am the physician lead for the inherited arrhythmia clinic, which treats patients with genetic conditions related to arrhythmias and sudden death. Additionally, I collaborate with neurologists and advanced imaging cardiologists to treat patients with neuromuscular conditions that affect the heart. I have worked closely with the advanced practice provider team to develop a clinic which expedites the care of patients with atrial fibrillation.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I serve as an assistant clinical professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I am committed to advancing the field of electrophysiology through education, research, and innovation. I am heavily involved in fellowship education serving as an associate program director for the electrophysiology fellowship. I am involved in multiple clinical trials related to the treatment of arrhythmias and device management of heart failure.
