Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as the circulatory system.

Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose, assess, and treat patients with diseases and defects of the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system).
Recognized as an expert in his field, Dr. Martin attributes his initial interest in Medicine to his Physician’s father, who fostered strong work ethics in him, while emotionally supporting his career.
