Clinical Interests
My clinical specialty involves treating patients with blood vessel disorders in all parts of the body except for the heart and brain directly. I specialize in providing patients with both minimally invasive techniques from inside the blood vessel known as "endovascular techniques," as well as traditional open surgical techniques known as bypass surgery. Minimally invasive procedures generally involve correcting the vascular problem using either a very short incision or no incision at all! Endovascular procedures utilize catheters and implantable devices such as stents or stent grafts. If appropriate for your condition, I will provide a balanced view regarding vascular therapies available based on our experience here as well as performing the newest procedures including stents and angioplasty for carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms and blockages in the arteries throughout the body and extremities.

Care Philosophy
Excellent care, excellent service, every time.

Personal Interests
In my spare time, I swim and run competitively. Also, when the opportunity arrives, I enjoy traveling and finding other parts of the country and world to explore.
