My expertise lies in comprehending and addressing intricate cardiac physiology, ensuring the most up to date, patient centered care. Collaborating with surgeons, cardiologists, PAs and nurses, I am committed to optimizing patient outcomes through teamwork and specialized care. I grew up in Suffolk County and went to Stony Brook School of Medicine. My family has been in the area for several generations and my wife and I went to high school together.
