About

Although I am originally from the Southeastern United States, I have spent over a decade living and practicing in Southern California. I am extremely happy to be in the Greater Los Angeles area providing high-quality care for our Kaiser Permanente members.

About my practice

The focus of my work is general adult cardiac surgery. My interests in cardiac surgery also include percutaneous and other minimally invasive therapies for cardiovascular diseases.

How I thrive

Working out and regular exercise are important parts of my life. I think that part of being a good physician is setting a good example.
