Area of Special Interest
• Minimally invasive cardiac surgery
I chose Cardiothoracic Surgery because to me, heart surgery is both science and art. The science is in how it all works and deciding what to do, and the art is in opening the heart up and putting it back together again. I get to do all of that in order to help people live.
My approach to patient care is that I treat my patients with the same level of respect and attention that I would expect a doctor to provide to my own family. As a proud alumnus of the University of Rochester Medical School, I could not imagine a greater place to practice medicine.

At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.
