About

Care Philosophy

With my extensive training and experience, I am well-equipped to provide care for your heart's electrical system. This includes performing tests to evaluate heart rhythm problems, managing cardiac devices, and addressing heart-related symptoms. I dedicate my time to helping patients understand and identify lifestyle changes they can make to manage their heart condition. I believe in a patient-centered approach, taking the time to listen to your concerns and answer any questions you may have.

Personal Statement

I am married and have a yellow lab. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outside, traveling and trying new food.

    Thank you to Sara and the nurse! They both took the time to listen to me and answer all my questions. I did not at all feel like they were rushing through my appointment. I walked out of that appointment feeling well taken care of. Again, thank you!!

    It is always a pleasure to come in to both the Device Clinic and the area to visit the NP or to meet with the Doctor. This time was especially special as it was agreed upon to change my pacemaker quarterly reporting and other unknown visits to be in Florida. Understood clearly I am always welcome back to Emplify. As I was told once a patient, always a patient. The kindness is always felt !!

    The check-in process on-line is much too redundant. Even for a blood test consisting of 2 separate orders I have to go through the check-in process for each order. The kiosk experience could be improved by improving consistency between screens. For example, for the first few screens in order to continue the button was in the lower right area of the screen. The next screen had the button needed to continue at about mid screen level and in the right half of the screen, making me wonder for a moment if I was missing something. Especially since the button itself was different than the previous buttons. For people not using these systems routinely, consistency reduces the chance of error.

    I had issues with the check-in upon arrival on the first floor. Thankfully, Sara was willing to still see me even after the delay. Without her care, my survey would have reflected a very negative result
