About
Quote
“Doctors give drugs of which they know little, for diseases of which they know less, into bodies, of which they know nothing at all.” I have always tried to incorporate the cautionary wisdom of Voltaire’s words into my everyday practice. I believe that much healing is achieved by getting to know your patient and understanding their circumstances. I moved to North Carolina in 2008 for my cardiology fellowship at UNC-Chapel Hill. Having fallen in love with Tarheel country, I am thrilled at the opportunity to join the exceptional and growing team of cardiologists at UNC- Chapel Hill. I look forward to having a fulfilling career in academic cardiology and pursuing my lifelong dream of being a true patient advocate and also a thoughtful mentor to the next generation of physicians.
