I am a cardiothoracic surgeon specializing in pediatric and adult congenital heart surgery. My clinical interests include all areas of congenital cardiothoracic surgery, heart and lung transplantation, pectus excavatum and slipping rib syndrome.
My path to medicine was shaped by a desire to continue serving others after my time in the United States Navy. I sought a career that reflected the same sense of purpose and service, and I found that calling in medicine, specifically caring for patients with congenital heart disease.
