About
Bio
Born in Montreal, Canada I attended McGill University Medical school where I also did my general surgery residency. After completing that training I went to Albany Medical Center for Thoracic surgery residency.
I finally did a 2 year fellowship with Dr. Tirone David and his staff at Toronto General Hospital.
I am a board certified cardiothoracic surgeon specializing in valve repairs and VATS surgery for lung cancer.
I was a contributing on air TV Medical Expert for a local CBS news affiliate and am seriously interested in medical telejournalism.
