Dr’s introduction
I am passionate about all facets of cardiology. My main goal always is to concentrate on addressing the basic causes of heart disease. This implies a strong emphasis on enhancing mental wellbeing, focusing on healthy eating habits, promoting regular exercise and ensuring adequate sleep. Acute interventions for heart attacks, heart failure and syncope (a transient loss of consciousness) are, however, particular interests. I enjoy all facets of cardiology practice.
I provide a comprehensive range of cardiology services which are detailed on the site. Particularly exciting is the “The Joburg Heart Imagine Centre” which aims to provide a high quality heart imaging service.
I look forward to meeting you and sharing in your journey.
