Doctor's Profile

About Dr. Kishin Ramani

Cardiologist

My philosophy in taking care of my patients is the "holistic" approach. Except in the few instances of genetic predisposition, health is not an accident of fate but rather can be modified by our preventive interventions. To quote Hippocrates: "A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings, and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illness". I emphasize lifestyle modification in addition to medication to restore health as needed...
