About

Trained in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh at Drexel, UPenn, and UPMC, I have been on staff at Main Line Hospitals and Bryn Mawr Medical Specialists since 2007. During this time, I have led major advancements in Electrophysiology, including establishing the first Electrophysiology lab at Bryn Mawr Hospital and introducing numerous first-in-region and first-in-state procedures. These include atrial fibrillation ablation, Watchman implantation, epicardial appendage closure, advanced pacing and heart failure devices, and innovative treatments for sleep apnea.

I also developed an outpatient cardiovascular surgery center and was the first in Pennsylvania to perform pacemaker and defibrillator implants in this setting. I remain actively involved in clinical research and have performed the highest volume of atrial fibrillation ablations using new PFA technology within Main Line Health. My approach is patient-centered, combining the latest medical, technological, and nonpharmacologic options to deliver individualized care.
I have deep ties to the region, having grown up in central New Jersey and now living in Bryn Mawr, where both of my children were born.
