I am honored to be a part of the cardiology program at St. Luke’s. I enjoy teaching and sharing what I have learnt over the years with students and medical trainees. I feel that being at St. Luke’s provides me with a unique opportunity to continue to practice state of the art cardiology as well as be active in teaching in an academic environment and do my small part to help train the future generation of physicians.
I am a good listener and I treat all my patients as I would treat a family member, and as I would like to be treated, if I were in their shoes. I practice cardiology with honesty and integrity.
I did my residency in internal medicine followed by a year as chief resident in Brooklyn, NY. I developed a keen interest in cardiology and went on to do a fellowship in cardiovascular medicine followed by further specialization in interventional cardiology and endovascular intervention. Before coming to St. Luke’s University Health Network, I practiced cardiology in Tupelo, Mississippi where I had the privilege of performing coronary, vascular and carotid artery interventions for over 14 years. I have been active in cardiac research and served as an investigator in several clinical trials that helped bring in cutting-edge technologies to my patients.
I am fellowship trained and board certified in cardiovascular medicine, interventional cardiology and nuclear cardiology. I have a special interest in early detection of coronary and cerebrovascular disease using advanced imaging techniques such as CT coronary calcium scoring, CT coronary angiography, nuclear stress testing, echocardiography and carotid artery ultrasound. Early detection will hopefully lead to early modification of cardiac risk factors by lifestyle modification and intensive medical therapy, to lower the risk of progression to unfortunate events such as heart attacks and strokes that are the leading cause of death and disability in our nation.
I enjoy spending my free time with my family. I have two boys who like to travel and learn about new places and cultures. My wife and I have shared a common interest in meditation. I have practiced meditation for over 30 years and continue to teach meditation in my free time.
