Where I See Patients

Schedule a Visit

A subspecialty of cardiology, interventional cardiology focuses on catheter-based treatment of structural heart diseases, such as coronary artery disease and vascular disease. Interventional cardiologists diagnose and treat narrowed arteries in the heart (and elsewhere in the body) and weakened heart valves. Treatments included angiography, angioplasty, and stenting.

If you have not been diagnosed with coronary artery disease or valve disease, please make an appointment with our General Cardiologists, and, if needed, they can refer you for more specialized treatment.
