I am a invasive, non-interventional cardiologist focused on valvular heart disease, congestive heart failure and cardiac imaging. I am board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Echocardiography, and nuclear cardiology. I am level 3 certified in cardiac CT angiography. I perform transesophageal (TEE) echocardiograms. I perform diagnostic right and left heart catheterization and angiography. I also place implantable loop recorders (I.e Linq device to continuously monitor heart rhythm and evaluate for abnormal rhythms) as well as cardiac pacemakers and implantable defibrillators (AICD).

Cardiologist @ Continuing my invasive but not interventional cardiology practice with the Louisiana Heart Medical Group (LHMG) at the Louisiana Heart Hospital. My interest is in medical imaging and its uses in various cardiology problems. My practice will continue to focus on non-interventional cardiology care such as coronary artery and vascular disease prevention and treatment, the treatment of valvular heart diseases, the treatment and management of congestive heart failure and electrical and rhythm problems (including unexplained syncope) of the heart requiring anti-arrhythmic medications or device therapy (pacemakers and implantable defibrillators, and loop recorders).
