Kiruthika Balasundaram, MD

Cardiologist

“As a cardiologist, I help diagnose the cause of and manage my patients’ symptoms. Additionally, I look for other risk factors that they may not have even been aware of, in order to reduce someone’s overall risk of heart disease in the long run. I strongly believe in education about heart disease and promoting a healthy diet and lifestyle as a start towards better heart health, but also understand that it’s not always easy - I’m here to help.”
