5.0 star star star star starBeside being an accomplished cardiologist, esp in ACHD, he comes across as a good/honest person and seem to care about his patients' cardiac and overall well-being/care.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
