  • Interventional Cardiology

Dr. Joseph K. Choo brings more than 20 years of experience caring for patients with complex structural heart disease. For the past decade, he has focused on the cutting edge of cardiology, developing new strategies for diagnosing and treating coronary artery disease, vascular disease, structural heart disease and congenital heart defects. Inspired by the many advances in heart care over his career, Dr. Choo finds it most rewarding to make a positive impact on his patients’ lives. As a board-certified specialist, Dr. Choo uses advanced interventional technologies to diagnose and treat valve disorders and non-coronary abnormalities that require mechanical solutions, including aortic valves, mitral valves, tricuspid valves, atrial septal defects, patent foramen ovales and ventricular septal defects. He believes in partnering with his patients to ensure the best outcomes. He is dedicated to empowering his patients to heal and stay healthy. He encourages everyone to maintain an active lifestyle to avoid or lessen heart disease.

Originally from Boston, Dr. Choo and his wife moved to Cincinnati many years ago to be near family. They have two children. He enjoys building computers and is an avid reader.
