The City of Houston is the most diverse city in the country. This distinct hallmark is one of the City’s defining characteristics, making Houston a vibrant community that is bursting at the seams with a multitude of languages spoken, cuisines, artistic pursuits, and cultural influences. As such, Houstonians from all backgrounds need high-level medical expertise and care to be provided by diverse clinical practitioners. 

To that end, the newly formed Texas Heart Medical Group is now serving as home base for twelve experienced and highly skilled cardiologists who collectively possess fluency in English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Hungarian, Portuguese, Croatian, and Slavic. The Medical Group’s international profile is but one of the many reasons that its patients have chosen and are continuing to choose THMG for their heart care. With the Medical Group’s shared ability to accurately and clearly elucidate a patient’s heart health condition to them regardless of their ethnic background and preferred language, it is able to keenly hone in on providing the utmost care to each and every patient that walks through its doors without any aspects of their personal care being lost in translation.

Further, Texas Heart Medical Group’s 12 doctors are board-certified in internal medicine and cardiovascular diseases, hold faculty appointments at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, and are leaders in the subspecialty fields of Cardiac Imaging, Interventional Cardiology, Peripheral Vascular Disease, and Electrophysiology. Its doctors are compassionate and are committed to providing personalized care in a state-of-the-art setting while harnessing the full capabilities of the entire Texas Heart Institute in order to meet the needs of patients no matter the complexity.

“The leading physicians in the Texas Heart Medical Group are blazing a new trail in the practice of top-tier cardiovascular medicine,” emphasized Dr. Emerson Perin, Texas Heart Institute’s Medical Director.  He added, “The founding physicians at THMG have upheld the same standards of excellence set forth by Dr. Denton A. Cooley, spanning decades of collective experience in the practice of cardiovascular medicine and clinical investigation. In the spirit of the Cooley legacy, we have joined together as a body of clinicians, surgeons and scientists with a unified ethos to take Dr. Cooley’s core mission far into the 21^st Century.”
