10 Best Cardiologists in Florida

In the last decade, the medical field has seen tremendous advancement, now, doctors are able to carry out mind-bending treatments, which were thought not possible a couple of decades ago. Out of all the fields, cardiology has seen the most growth, and it is especially great for senior citizens that are more likely to develop heart disease. Florida is the top choice for retired individuals, so the majority of the population in this state is over 50, and also, prone to cardiovascular diseases. Fortunately, this state also offers some of the best cardiologists.

Dr. Pradip Jamnadas

I wish I had known that sugar is one of the most dangerous foods, and high fructose corn syrup is probably causing more ill health effects than previously thought, especially in children. Attention to the gut microbiome is important and needs more studies and investigations. There is a clear role of the microbiome in inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disease. All of these health tips could have helped me teach my patients sooner the secrets to living a long and fruitful life free of disease.”

Dr. Jamnadas is among the top-rated doctors in Florida, and he is known for his exceptional skill in cardiology. He graduated from his medical school in London but decided to pursue a medical career in the United States. One thing that sets apart Dr. Jamnadas from other cardiologists is that he underwent training for surgery as well, which enabled him to understand the functioning of the heart comprehensively. He is a strong advocate of enhancing one’s nutrition and lifestyle to live a better life. Teaching is another aspect he thoroughly enjoys, and he provides educational videos on his Instagram page and Youtube channel.

Specialization

Dr. Jamnadas specializes in intervention cardiology, along with advanced heart failure, Transplant Cardiology, and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology. He is a strong believer in modern technology, and he utilizes all sorts of robotics in his clinic. He also uses therapies such as ECP or EECP (Enhanced External Cardiac Pulsation), which allows patients to feel great without undergoing surgery.

ECP is not really heard of much, but I have been doing it for 20 years in my office. What it involves is, we place blood pressure cuffs, large cuffs around the thighs, calves, and the pelvis, and then, a patient is attached to an EKG machine and based on the EKG, the blood pressure cuffs on the legs come on and squeeze the legs and release. When they squeeze the blood column in the aorta and the legs move up and into the coronary arteries creating a pulsatile flow in the coronary arteries. This increases the blood flow in the coronary muscles and the patients feel less angina.”

Dr. Tiffany (Sizemore) Di Pietro 

Although I take my career very seriously, I believe that healthcare still deserves some humor and humility. More than anything, I believe that if you treat patients the way you would your family, you can’t go wrong.”

Dr. Tiffany Sizemore ranks among the top cardiologist not only in Florida but in the entire country, and because of her extensive knowledge, she’s often part of various news shows as a medical expert. Despite this, she strongly believes that great feats can only be achieved with a strong team and healthy communication. She is also known for her top-notch patient care because she is passionate about helping people, and she examines both the present and past conditions of her patients with a sharp eye.

I tell my patients, Big Mac equals a big belly.  You know abstaining from alcohol is huge, obviously, not smoking is a biggie, everything in moderation is really my key with my patients. You know, if someone has to have their Big Mac once a month I am not going to tell them no if they’re not going to die from having a Big Mac once a month.”

Specialization

Dr. Tiffany Sizemore is a board-certified cardiologist and women’s health expert. Prevention of diseases, specifically, heart diseases is very important to her, and she does everything in her power to enable her patients to get better with changes in their lifestyles and diet. She also specializes in Echocardiography, which is the process of utilizing machines to assess the flow of the blood and valves of the heart. She has treated conditions like Acute Myocardial Infarction, Atrial Fibrillation, and Atrial Flutter.

In my practice, I don’t treat a lot of what we call Chronic Non-Malignant Pain, Why? Because I send those patients to a pain management specialist that is who should be managing their pain. You know, unless you have cancer that is malignant cancer, there are very few people who should be on long-term pain medication. You know, if you broke your leg 5 years ago you shouldn’t be on Percocet still for your broken leg like from 5 years ago.”

He also enjoys reading in his spare time.

As a patient advocate and nutrition-focused cardiologist in Tampa, I’ve met many people who felt a disconnect between their expectations and the care provided by their physicians. Some feel doctors don’t listen to them, others are not getting the medical explanations they deserve. I’ve found this divide often breaks the trust needed to form the foundation of a strong healthcare partnership.”

Specialization

In the former, he devises specialized nutrition and lifestyle plans for his patients, so that they could get better without undergoing surgery.

Dr. Yazan Khatib

We’re really in an epidemic in the United States of increasing obesity and as a result, increasing diabetes. In the 1990s versus 2000s, there was not a single state that was marked with obesity in excess of twenty-five percent, and if you look at the statistics from the 2000s, there are very few states that do not have twenty-five percent morbid obesity.”

Dr. Yazan Khatib is among rare physicians who actually put the care of his patients before themselves. He is very compassionate and listens closely to his patients and understands not only their goals but also their lifestyle to treat them better. Dr. Khatib is also strongly against surgical procedures, he tries to exhaust all the non-surgical treatments, and sometimes he even takes days researching a viable option for his patients, so that they don’t have to undergo surgery. Despite being a highly-skilled doctor, he gives all of his credit to his wife that she supported him in all those years and understood his busy schedule. Dr. Khatib is also big on serving the community; in 2009 he flew 150 children from Syria to perform the Syrian Christmas Choir in Detroit, Jacksonville, and Disney World.

Specialization

Dr. Yazan Khatib specializes not only in cardiology but also in family medicine and surgery. He trained under some of the best doctors, and this allowed him to learn invaluable skills in the medical field. He provides the state of the art treatment to his patients, and he has carried out one of the most complex procedures such as Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair, in this procedure, the aorta artery is repaired by making an incision in the abdomen. He has also treated conditions such as pericarditis, valvular disease, ischemic heart disease, and so on.

A blockage is basically a degenerative process, a process of wear and tear in the vessels, we all get blockages by the time we are 100. Those of us who have the risk factors like diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure gets them a lot earlier. So, it’s a process where plaque builds up inside the vessels and the legs, and the heart, and the brain and lead to a decrease in the blood flow in those organs.”

I am an interventional cardiologist by training, so the majority of people that present to me are those with coronary artery disease, specifically, blockages in their coronary arteries.

Our patients are educated on a number of risk factors that they can either modify in other words, diet, stopping smoking, continuing an exercise routine, managing their weight, and controlling diabetes, those are all things that we can actually do in our day to day lives to improve our outcomes and our risk of having heart disease.”
