Now accepting new patients
Excellence in patient care is something I have always strived for. High-quality care not only involves the best that medical science has to offer but also the human connection. I have been fortunate to develop strong doctor-patient relationships, which have kept Champaign patients driving to Chicago to see me for cardiac care for the past three years. Now, several of my Chicago patients plan to drive to Champaign to see me for cardiac care.
