    Provider's Bio

    I believe being able to practice clinical medicine is a privilege granted by our patients, and they have the rights to be treated the same way as our family members and friends would be. It brings me tremendous happiness and joy to see my patients feel better or completely recover from frequently debilitating heart rhythm conditions through treatment. I strive to achieve that for every patient I see, often through a multidisciplinary, team approach offered at the Mayo Clinic Health System and often involving a shared decision-making process.

    My years of training and experience have also taught me the need to stay up to speed with the latest development in the field, to be humble and stay open-minded in evaluating different ideas and options as the disease may be the same, but the individual patient is not and may benefit from tailored treatment.

    In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, hike, sightsee and attend sports events. I also enjoy ping-pong, pickleball and swimming. If time allows, I would really like to learn more about fishing and boating in the future.
