Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“I have always strived to care for patients the way I would want a family member or close friend to be cared for – with compassion and sensitivity, and the highest attainable knowledge and clinical skills. I have always gained great satisfaction getting to know my patients, and educating them so that they can participate in the decision-making process regarding their healthcare.”
Clinical Expertise
Dr. Fine has developed expertise in the full spectrum of cardiology care, from preventive, consultative, and longitudinal care, to diagnostic testing and interpretation, to the performance of interventional procedures including angioplasty, stent and pacemaker implantations.
