Get to know Christopher R. Broda, MD
Providing medical care is about more than just ordering tests and giving results. I endeavor to provide a holistic, patient-centered care model to my patients by utilizing the most up-to-date, cutting-edge techniques and methods to enable the best possible outcomes. I leverage my personal history with congenital heart disease to provide a compassionate and sympathetic experience for my patients as I believe patients are integral to the decision-making process.
Clinical Interests
My clinical interests involve providing comprehensive care to patients with cardiomyopathies and all forms of congenital heart disease, including those with the most complex hearts and/or those who may need advanced therapies such as mechanical circulatory support devices and/or organ transplantation.
