Appointment Information
Eau Claire, WI
Luther Campus Clinic
1400 Bellinger St., Eau Claire, WI 54703Provider's Bio
I am an interventional cardiologist with Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where I care for patients with heart and vascular conditions, including coronary artery disease. I specialize in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease and performing minimally invasive heart procedures, such as percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) to help restore blood flow to the heart.
I am board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, interventional cardiology, echocardiography and nuclear medicine.
My approach to medicine is centered on partnership. I believe patients should have a strong voice in their care and leave the office with a clear understanding of their health condition, the management plan and where they are in their healthcare journey. My goal is to explain what is happening inside the body and how we can work together to improve heart health because I believe informed patients are empowered patients.
I am an Eau Claire native and a graduate of Memorial High School. Outside of work, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my wife and our four children. Our family stays busy with football, hockey, baseball and soccer, and you will often find me around the community at local soccer parks, Lowes Creek baseball fields, Hobbs Ice Arena, or enjoying area parks. I also enjoy working outdoors and spending time planting native trees, bushes and wildflowers.
