Dr. John Cherian

Cardiologist

Dr John Cherian is a board certified cardiologist who received his medical degree from Christian Medical College, Ludhiana, India and completed his cardiovascular fellowship training at St Vincent Hospital in Worcester, MA. Prior to moving to Georgia to join East Atlanta Cardiology, he worked with the Baptist Health System in Alabama for 4 years.

Dr Cherian practices clinical and invasive non-interventional cardiology and is proficient in various procedures including cardiac catheterization, TEE and IVC filter implantation. His office practice also includes stress testing and echocardiography.

Dr Cherian´s mission is to provide the best care to patients under the highest ethical standards. He is committed to helping patients and their families understand cardiac disease, pursue appropriate tests when required and understand different treatment options, enabling them to actively participate in their individualized care plan.

"Being diagnosed with heart disease can be very stressful and often the stress is compounded by the complexity of medical terminology that a patient receives. It is important to translate medical jargon and this allows patients to understand their symptoms, understand the rationale for the treatment offered and encourages them to comply with their treatment and adopt a heart healthy lifestyle."

Dr Cherian is a member of the American College of Cardiology and keeps abreast of the latest medical developments through scientific meetings and journals. "With the scientific advancements available today, many patients experience significant or complete relief of their symptoms with medications, surgical procedures, implantable devices or a combination of all of these. But a cure is not always possible, and in such situations, the hope is to mitigate symptoms to the extent possible and enable patients to lead more fulfilling lives."

Appointments for consultation are offered at office locations in Decatur, Lithonia and Conyers.
