Biography

Lifelong interest in congenital cardiovascular disease in adults. Formal training was in cardiology and internal medicine with Fellowship in Cardiology in Boston. Had my first contact with Congenital Heart Disease in Adults as a junior resident at the Brigham hospital rotating through the then, Boston Lying In Hospital. Maintained interest in CHD as well as high risk obstetrics and served as Chief of Med and Cardiology with major role in Ob-Gyn at St. Mary's Health Center in St Louis for 19 years. Now, active with office practice, consults, and non- invasive cardiology. I have regularly attended the annual meeting of international experts in Congenital Heart Disease in Adults sponsored by American College of Cardiology. I don't claim to be an expert, but I do spend a lot of time with each patient and their unique problems.
 

Interests

A lot of interest and experience in high risk obstetrics (cardiology) but no longer allowed to pursue that due to the high cost of insurance since the group I am in is very large. Still enjoy seeing all types of congenital cardiovascular disease in adults in the office setting.
