As a cardiologist, I am dedicated to caring for my patients. Early in my career, the chief of medicine asked, “What is your calling?†I chose cardiology, because medical advances allow such doctors to offer new therapies and individualize care.

At ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Ambulatory Care Lake Success, I care for adults of all ages. I manage heart disease with a focus on evaluating and modifying a person’s risk factors, including high blood pressure and lipid disorders, which involve abnormal levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, or other proteins and fats in the blood.

I have expertise in preventive cardiology, a specialty that aims to prevent heart disease. This led me to become part of the faculty at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease. Doctors at the center treat patients at risk of developing heart disease as well as those who already have it.

I also offer my patients access to clinical trials through the center. It is participating in research to determine if patients who have heart disease and elevated levels of lipoprotein(a)—which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease—can benefit from new therapies that lower those levels. 

Educating patients about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition are key in preventing heart disease. I provide my patients with access to certified nutritionists, community programs, and lectures on heart health.

I collaborate with other specialists to care for patients who have conditions that can increase their risk for heart disease. I evaluate patients with diabetes and treat them with medications that help lower their risk of heart disease. I also care for people who have rheumatic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and lupus. ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Cardio-Rheumatology Program offers therapies to help reduce these patients’ risk of heart disease and conducts research on new treatments.

Patients with high blood pressure during pregnancy or gestational diabetes may have an increased risk of developing heart disease later in life. I strive to improve their outcomes by educating them about their risks.

Cardiology gives me the opportunity to have a positive impact on people’s lives. Every day, I look forward to caring for my patients and helping them to live longer and better lives.
