  • About

    Throughout my career, my passion had always lied in Cardiothoracic Radiology.

    In my practice, I take pride in accurately diagnosing complex diseases and providing valuable insights for treatment planning and patient management through direct communication with referring physicians and during Tumor Boards.

    My commitment to the field extends beyond clinical work. I actively engage in teaching residents and constantly update myself to deepen my understanding of cardiovascular and thoracic disorders.

    As an educator, I'm passionate about sharing my expertise with the next generation of radiologists. I frequently share cases with our Michigan Medicine residents at the VA healthecare systems, aiming to inspire and equip aspiring healthcare professionals with the skills they need to excel in Cardiothoracic Radiology.

    Overall, my journey in Cardiothoracic Radiology has been incredibly fulfilling so far. I'm driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and to contribute to the continuous improvement of healthcare practices in this vital field.
