Oscar Bailon, MD, FACC, is a board-certified cardiologist that supports the UWMC Northwest and Mill Creek Clinics. Dr. Bailon believes that best patient care outcomes are achieved incorporating patient preferences, needs and values. For this episode he brought the instruments he has carried with him since he was in high-school. He used these instruments to help pay his way through medical school and now to break the ice with his patients. Additionally, he has played an important role on a regional radio show discussing cardiovascular issues and Covid science for our Spanish speaking population. His music is magical and you can hear for yourself how he is able to break down barriers.
