Meritus interventional cardiologist to see patients in Frederick

HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Meritus Health will be offering interventional cardiology consultations in Frederick starting this month.

Interventional cardiologists specialize in heart and blood vessel procedures using a catheter. There are a variety of reasons a cardiology patient may be referred to an interventional cardiologist, that include heart attack, heart valve disease, coronary artery disease and more.

Mansoor Ahmad, M.D., FACC, FSCAI, will be seeing patients weekly beginning Feb. 19 at 310 W. Ninth St., Unit 10.

Dr. Ahmad is board certified in interventional cardiology, cardiovascular disease, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, physicians' vascular interpretation and internal medicine. He completed his residency at the esteemed Cleveland Clinic. Additionally, he further honed his skills through a fellowship at Christiana Care Health System in Delaware.

As time goes on, Dr. Ahmad will be joined by fellow Meritus interventional cardiologist Stephen Williams, M.D., MPH.

Dr. Williams, a distinguished graduate of Harvard Medical School, is board certified in both general cardiology and interventional cardiology. He routinely treats patients with heart attacks and coronary artery disease and specializes in peripheral artery disease and vascular intervention.

“We have a good group of cardiologists and interventional cardiologists who are providing world-class care,” Dr. Ahmad said. “We’re already seeing patients from Frederick here in Hagerstown, so it’s important to expand our care there.”

By having office hours in Frederick, patients will be able to meet and speak with the doctor performing an outpatient procedure closer to home. This also prevents them from having to shuttle between doctors.

“Our goal is to provide good care,” Dr. Ahmad said.
