Pratik Dalal, MD

My goal as your cardiologist is to combine evidence-based cardiovascular care with cutting-edge therapies whether it be pharmaceutical or procedural.

I believe in providing high quality comprehensive care to children and adults with congenital heart disease and their families in a respectful caring environment.

Ambar Andrade, MD

Telemedicine, Cardiology, Pediatric Cardiology

Physician, Banner - University Medicine Heart Institute

My approach to patient care is to place the patient at the center of the team. I like to involve patients in the decision making process regarding their cardiac care. Whether we are deciding with medications to start or what advanced therapies to pursue, I always tell patients that they know themselves better than I do, and we will work together as a team to determine their plan of care.

Jonathan Weiss, MD

Cardiology

Physician, Banner - University Medicine Heart Institute

My approach to care is all about the patient. Although Electrophysiology (Heart Rhythm Specialist) is a highly technical area of medicine, listening carefully to the patient is where excellent care begins. Careful understanding of the patient's concerns, level of understanding, and expectations is key to providing the education necessary for successful planning and then providing them the appropriate treatment.

Balaji Tamarappoo, MD

Cardiology

Physician, Banner - University Medicine Heart Institute

A trusting relationship is the foundation of my practice.

Jaime Stempihar, PA-C

Physician Assistant

Physician Assistant (PA), Banner Health Center plus at Arcadia

I listen first to my patients to develop trust in the relationship and to gain clues to what is wrong. I want to help my patients and their families understand the "why" behind my recommendations. Understanding helps people better manage their conditions, improve their quality of life and make safer decisions regarding their health care. Ultimately, I want my patients to be comfortable with the choices they make.
