About Me

I am an interventional cardiologist. I usually see patients with blocked arteries or those who have recently experienced a heart attack. My role is to perform coronary angioplasty, a minimally invasive procedure that opens up blocked arteries using stents to restore blood flow to the heart.

I am passionate about evidence-based medicine and strongly believe that the best outcomes happen when the patient and physician work together as a team. Every treatment plan I recommend is guided by the latest scientific research but always tailored to the individual’s values, background, and unique needs. I strive to make sure each patient not only receives high-quality cardiovascular care but also has a positive and respectful experience throughout their journey.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, playing with my dog, and traveling with family.
