About me
I'm a board-certified interventional cardiologist at OHSU. This means I work with patients whose heart and vascular conditions require advanced, catheter-based treatments, including:
- Complex coronary interventions
- Structural heart disease
- Mechanical circulatory support (MCS)
- Cardiogenic shock
- Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD)
- Peripheral vascular interventions
I have published over 80 peer-reviewed manuscripts and abstracts, and have presented multiple research projects at international society meetings such as the American College of Cardiology, Society of Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions and Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics.
After earning my medical degree, I completed an internal medicine residency at the University of Arizona, where I was Chief Resident and Junior Faculty in the Department of Medicine. I then pursued a cardiovascular disease fellowship at OHSU, followed by further subspecialty fellowship training in interventional cardiology, structural heart disease, complex coronary, ACHD and peripheral interventions at the University of California, San Diego.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my spouse, who is also a doctor at OHSU, exploring the great Pacific Northwest and all the amazing restaurants that it has to offer. My wife and I love to travel and experience new places, cultures and cuisines. We both enjoy medical education and are actively involved in training programs at OHSU to continue mentoring future leaders in the field.

Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- Check your network. If you have health insurance, call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
- Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.
If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
