I enjoy working with patients on the full spectrum of heart disease, ranging from those with risk factors or concerning symptoms, to those with complex, multi-system illnesses. I received my medical training at Columbia University in New York and have been published in leading medical journals, such as The New England Journal of Medicine, and popular media, such as the Washington Post and Mens Health. I regularly appear on WRAL TV to talk about health and have been an editor on several medical textbooks, including the best-selling Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy. My most recent book, "Am I Dying?!: A Complete Guide To Your Symptoms and What To Do Next," was translated into sixteen languages and has been featured by the New York Times, People, CBS This Morning, Good Morning America and more.
