About Me
I believe treating a patient as your own family member, taking the time to listen to them, and caring about their needs and concerns are what distinguishes a doctor. I love what I do, and I have a great passion for cardiac MRI and strive to deliver the best advanced cardiac imaging quality there is. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, and all kinds of sports activities.
