Castle Connolly has again recognized South Florida Heart Institute (SFHI) in Delray Beach for their excellence in cardiology. “The recognition of our group by Castle Connolly demonstrates the high quality of patient care provided by all of our physicians,” says Eric H. Lieberman, M.D., Vice Chief of the Medical Staff at Delray Medical Center and National Director of Cardiology for Tenet Healthcare and Regional Medical Director of Cardiology for the Palm Beach Health Network. “It recognizes the clinical strength of the group and how we work as a team.”
The group sees patients with active cardiac issues and those looking to preventatively assess and reduce their risk. They also see patients who have cardiac issues related to their oncologic care and patients with advanced heart failure in need of specialized cardiovascular care. In addition to general cardiovascular care, the cardiovascular subspecialties provided include preventive cardiology, invasive/interventional cardiology, cardio-oncology, pulmonary hypertension, and advanced heart failure. “We deliver evidence-based, quality medical care,” says Dr. Lieberman. “Our goal is to strive to provide care that offers the greatest benefit with the lowest risk.”
SFHI understands that education is a key component of effective healthcare delivery. “The more educated a patient is, the better they can participate in their healthcare.” They are also firm believers in communication. “Patients hear directly from us regarding the diagnostic test they have performed at SFHI.” The physicians at SFHI are surrounded by a dedicated support team, including several staff members working at SFHI for over 15 years with the physicians to provide compassionate, timely care in a warm and friendly environment.
The physicians of SFHI also serve as the core faculty for the cardiovascular fellowship training program at Delray Medical Center and Florida Atlantic University. They actively participate in clinical research and the teaching of the fellows and residents. Recently the faculty and fellows under the direction of Dr. Jonathan Kahan completed a book, “Escaping History,” detailing cardiovascular risks and preventive treatment options related to cardiovascular disease. Their participation in the educational program is a testament to ongoing efforts to maintain innovative clinical care and knowledge applicable to the care of cardiac patients.
