Aditi A. Bhagat, MD, FACC, MPH, RPVI specializes in general cardiology and is board certified in echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, vascular ultrasound, internal medicine, and cardiovascular disease. She has a special interest in the management of chest pain, coronary artery disease, women’s heart health, and hypertension.
While pursuing her Masters of Public Health in epidemiology, Dr. Bhagat was initially drawn to cardiology due to its significant impact on public health. She became involved in heart disease prevention, which sparked her interest in understanding and improving the management of chronic cardiac diseases on an individual level.
As a cardiologist, her goal is to make her patients feel valued and understood so together they can create a path towards improved cardiovascular health that is both effective and deeply meaningful.
In her free time, Dr. Bhagat enjoys running, traveling, and exploring new restaurants.
