"My care is patient centered. I take the time to get to know my patients, to be thorough, and answer any questions. I want to make sure they have a clear understanding of their diagnosis, recommended testing, solutions, and preventing future problems.

My philosophy is that when a patient truly understands the problem and how to fix it, it is easier to treat anything."

- Dr. Vikas Soma, Interventional Cardiologist
