About
Biography
I completed my cardiovascular surgery training and fellowship in Japan, followed by advanced subspecialty training in heart failure and transplant surgery at Barnes-Jewish Hospital at Washington University in St. Louis. I am committed to providing compassionate and culturally sensitive care to a diverse patient population.
My training in both Japan and the United States exposed me to a broad spectrum of cardiac disease, from coronary, valve and aortic pathology to the most advanced forms of heart failure. These experiences shaped my dedication to evidence-based practice, surgical innovation, and education, and continue to drive my mission to improve outcomes for patients with complex heart and aortic disease.
