Patients Say:

“Michael remembered the little details I shared from the day before and made me feel like more than just a room number.”

“He listened to all my concerns and made me feel heard, which is rare in a hospital setting.”

“Michael explained my medications and test results so clearly that I finally understood what was going on with my heart.”

Michael Says:

“I’ve been drawn to the heart — literally and figuratively — since the start of my career in medicine. I love taking time to educate patients and make cardiology less intimidating.

In my free time, I enjoy jet skiing, hiking and dancing like no one’s watching.”
