We’re unique. You should be, too.

We’re changing lives every day. For both our patients and our team members. Are you innovative and entrepreneurial minded? Is your work ethic and ambition off the charts? Do you inspire others with your kindness and joy?

We’re different than most primary care providers. We’re rapidly expanding and we need great people to join our team.

The Cardiologist will diagnose and treat various cardiovascular ailments or diseases, such as heart attacks and coronary heart disease. Cardiologists may focus in one or more cardiology specializations, such as echocardiography, electrophysiology, nuclear cardiology and interventional cardiology. The tasks of cardiologists also vary. For instance, non-invasive cardiologists specialize in diagnosing cardiovascular problems, while invasive non-interventional cardiologists diagnose and perform catheterizations. Those who diagnose and perform medical procedures to cure cardiovascular diseases are called interventional cardiologists.

At ChenMed, we remain committed to:
1. Physician Work/life balance
2. No nights/ no weekends / no call
3. Population health approach focused on Prevention, Patient Outcomes and Quality of Care:
a. Simplifying complex care through collaboration and care coordination
b. Focused on early chronic disease detection & management,
preventative care, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced
hospital readmissions

Part of the cardiologist responsibilities revolve around doing invasive testing such as cauterization, coronary angiography or coronary arteriography that requires precision and a skilled hand.
Responsible for knowing how to perform these tests without making a mistake that can harm the patient.
Cardiologist responsibilities continue after all tests have been conducted and any surgeries completed with follow up examinations.
