Why did you choose to work towards the specialty of Cardiology?
Cardiology is a great combination of medicine, surgery, emergency, and imaging. Thanks to great mentors during my training periods, I was fortunately guided to the specialty of Cardiology. Cardiology is the best!
Why did you choose to work at VCA West Coast?
Great people and state-of-the-art facility with tremendous potentials to grow further to the next height
Part of VCA West Coast's mission is to help advance the profession of veterinarian medicine, how do you want to contribute?
Not only general cardiology (diagnosis of heart disease and treatment of heart failure and arrhythmia), but also one of my strengths in Cardiology is breadth of experience in cardiovascular interventional procedures. These include occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus, balloon dilation of valvular stenosis, pacemaker implantation, transvenous electrical cardioversion of arrhythmia, diagnostic angiography, transarterial chemoembolization, and vascular stenting.
VCA West Coast has 13 core values, which one(s) relates best to you and why?
Teamwork, Integrity, Compassion, Respect, Accountability, Passion, Initiative, Kindness, Gratitude, Efficiency, Teaching, Empathy, Reliability
Teamwork, because I believe that people and collegiality are the most integral elements for mutual success.
What do you enjoy doing outside of being a veterinarian?
Still learning, but trying to be a good father to my two boys and a loving husband to my wife.
