INTERESTING PERSONAL FACTS

  • What I love most about being a cardiologist is having the opportunity to positively impact the lives of my patients. In particular, I am passionate about working to ensure that underserved patient populations such as women and minorities are appropriately treated. While CV death rates in men have declined over the last 15 years, death rates in women have either increased slightly or stayed constant. I believe that this is unacceptable. I have been an advocate for prevention of sudden cardiac death in women for the last 5 years and have developed, produced, and chaired national symposia on women and cardiovascular disease prevention. The purpose of these events has been to increase awareness, among both healthcare providers and women to the risk factors and warning signs of CV disease in women. Through education, awareness and advocacy, it is my hope that we can reduce CV disease in underserved populations.
  • On a personal note, I am a husband to my wife of 11 years and father to my 10 year old daughter. I enjoy music, golf, and time outside at the NC coast. I am a member of St Francis of Assisi Catholic church in Raleigh, where I sing as a cantor during Sunday masses. I am involved in several charitable organizations such as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), where I have served on the board of directors.
