Bio I was born in Virginia. I went to medical school at the Medical College of VA. I served in the Navy 10 years. Then I did a Cardiology fellowship at the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston and stayed on as staff for 8 years. Then I went into practice in the Boston area for nearly 10 years. I moved to northern CA in 2002 and joined Kaiser Santa Rosa at that time. I am board certified in Cardiology, Nuclear Cardiology, and Internal Medicine. I have published over 50 scientific papers on a variety of subjects. I have a fairly broad experience of the medical scene in the USA, having practiced in the military (Navy), academia (Beth Israel Boston), private practice (Brockton), and HMO medicine (Kaiser). I have to say that the last is best.
My Medical Specialty
More details about my specialty: I chose cardiology after being influenced by having the opportunity to work with William Likoff in Philadelphia and Joseph Alpert in San Diego, two great mentors. My specialty interests and affiliations within my field: Heart failure has always been an interest. Current projects or research: After over 75 papers, I find practice too time-consuming to go back to research, but I read the latest medical news and research reports with interest. Great health resources that I refer to: Journals New England J of Medicine, Circulation, and J of the American College of Cardiology are excellent resources, as are professional conferences.
