News

Ali Tabrizchi, D.O., FACC, FSCAI, FACOIBaltimore, MD - Ali Tabrizchi, D.O., FACC, FSCAI, FACOI, a clinical interventional cardiologist at the LifeBridge Health Cardiovascular Institute and the director of Cardiovascular Associates of Maryland, has once again been honored by his patients as one of Vitals' Most Compassionate Doctors. This is the fourth time in four years that Dr. Tabrizchi has been recognized for his outstanding care.

What makes this accolade so special is that recipients across the country are chosen by their own patients who go online and share their personal experiences. Millions of individuals write reviews, and only a fraction of the 970,000 practicing doctors across the country received this acknowledgement in 2014.

Among the criteria used to evaluate physicians are their bedside manner, one-on-one doctor/patient time, ease of setting appointments and follow up care. Patients also rate their overall satisfaction. These scores and other quality measures, such as peer evaluations and board certifications, are used in the selection process.

Dr. Tabrizchi is an expert in cardiovascular disease, nuclear cardiology, cardiac arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy. His special interests include treating acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina, heart blockages and high blood pressure.

He is also quadruple board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of Cardiovascular Disease, the American Board of Nuclear Cardiology and the American Board of Interventional Cardiology.

On Vitals.com, one of his patients wrote, "Dr. Tabrizchi was by far the best Doctor I have ever been treated by!!! His first concern was for my well being... Dr. Tabrizchi showed great care and compassion... His diagnosis was precise and explained thoroughly to me... as was his treatment plan. Dr. Tabrizchi's staff is a mirror of his professionalism and courtesy..."
