About Me
As an electrophysiologist, I specialize in the treatment and management of heart rhythm disorders. I have over 20 years of experience performing invasive electrophysiology procedures, including catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia as well as cardiac implantable electronic device procedures for various cardiac dysrhythmias. After spending time with the patient, their family and collaborating physicians, I carefully analyze and review the patient's unique situation before developing an individualized care plan. With the resources at Ohio State, I am able to provide the most innovative, evidence-based treatments that modern medicine has to offer.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State is the people. The philosophy of putting the patient first is woven into our culture and is practiced by all employees and staff. This, along with the commitment to continuously improve care and advance research results in outstanding care for our patients.
In my free time I enjoy exercising and spending time with my family.
