Description

As a Cardiology Nurse Practitioner, my approach is rooted in both evidence-based practice and genuine compassion. I live to care for patients, meeting each individual where they are and tailoring care to their unique needs. I begin with a thorough history and physical exam, always listening closely to what the patient shares about their symptoms, lifestyle, and concerns. I incorporate diagnostics, risk assessments, and guideline-driven management with a strong focus on prevention and patient education. I believe in helping patients understand their condition, their treatment options, and the steps they can take to protect their heart health.
