“I try to treat patients with the same care I would expect for myself or my family.”
I’m an interventional cardiologist and the director of the University Health Cardiovascular Center. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in complex coronary and peripheral vascular disease, treating conditions from the carotid arteries in the neck to the arteries all the way down to the feet.
I’ve always had a passion for science, and I initially gravitated toward cancer treatment during medical school. But it was a cardiology rotation at a rural hospital in my fourth year that opened my eyes to what I now consider my calling. I was captivated by the critical thinking, procedural work and the power of tools like EKGs, angiograms and echocardiograms to guide life-saving care.
Philosophy of Care
I never consider myself “off call” when it comes to helping patients. I treat each person the way I would want my own family to be treated — with respect, attentiveness and urgency when it matters most.
Favorite Parts of Medicine
  • Knowing that my team and I have saved countless lives
  • Seeing patients feel better and live longer, healthier lives
  • Leading innovations in cardiovascular care that make a measurable difference
Awards & Recognition
  • San Antonio’s Top Doctors, San Antonio Magazine (2021–2025)
  • President’s Award for Clinical Excellence, UT Health San Antonio (2022)
  • SA Scene Best San Antonio’s Doctors, Cardiology (2020)
Community Involvement
  • Co-founder and immediate past president, San Antonio Interventional Forum (SAIF)
  • Board Member, Center for Health Equity in South Texas (CHEST)
Hobbies
In my free time, I enjoy fishing, gardening and spending time with family, which consists of my wife (a pharmacist at University Health) and our two daughters.
