Program Highlights:
We have a busy Cardiology practice with patients needing to be seen. You will have a positive impact right away. We are the dominant provider in Southern Oregon because of the value we provide to the community.
General and invasive cardiologists can utilize their entire skill set. You will care for patients in clinic and the hospital, serve as the primary cardiologist on-call, read echocardiograms, stress tests, and cardiac CT tests (if you like), perform trans-esophageal echocardiograms, and perform cardiac catheterization procedures if you wish. If you are passionate about cardiac MRI, cardio-oncology, pulmonary hypertension, sports cardiology, etc., you will have the opportunity to focus on these or other interests as well.
Our STEMI program covers 5,000 square miles, and we cared for approximately 200 patients last year. We also perform TAVR (140 patients last year), percutaneous mitral interventions, and the full spectrum of EP procedures including VT ablation and Watchman implantation.
We have very good relations with the cardio thoracic surgeons which performed over 550 open-heart surgeries last year.
Autonomy: We value that each cardiologist is able to determine their own clinic schedule, make call swaps, and choose when we go on vacation. It has allowed cardiologists to serve as a robotics coach for their child s high school team or a soccer coach for their kid s elementary school team, or to pursue other interests.
Mentorship: An experienced cardiologist is always available to discuss challenging patients. You can count on having experienced support. Our cardiologists are passionate about their work and each strengthens the integrity, collegiality and quality of our practice.
