Rajat Garg, MD, specializes in general and interventional cardiology as well as peripheral vascular disease. He is board certified in cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology. Dr. Garg has specialized training in renal denervation as a treatment option for refractory hypertension.
“I was drawn to interventional cardiology because we can now make someone feel better almost instantly,” he said. “When a patient comes in the throes of a massive heart attack, we can stabilize them and alleviate their pain within minutes. You could call it 'instant gratification'.”
Dr. Garg earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he also completed his residency and fellowships in cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology.
In his free time, Dr. Garg is an avid D.C. sports fan and enjoys playing golf, tennis and basketball. He also coaches his sons in youth basketball and little league baseball.
