When I was a teenager, I watched my father survive a heart surgery that saved his life. That moment inspired my lifelong commitment to helping others through the same kind of care and precision that gave my family hope.
Today, I am a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon serving patients across California’s Central Valley. I specialize in heart and lung surgery, including valve repair and replacement, coronary bypass, aortic aneurysm repair, and lung cancer surgery, always with a focus on compassion, safety, and long-term wellness.
Over the years, I have been honored to receive recognition as Physician of the Year, serve as Chair of Cardiovascular Services, and be known as an expert in advanced cardiothoracic techniques. These achievements reflect not only my dedication but also the exceptional teams and patients I have been privileged to work with.
As a Volunteer Clinical Instructor at UCSF Fresno, I also help train the next generation of surgeons, ensuring that skill, integrity, and empathy continue to define our field.
My goal with every patient is simple: to provide the highest level of surgical care with the same compassion and precision I would want for my own family.
