Michael Gurfinkel, D.O.

About Me

Since childhood, I have had an interest in biology and the sciences. I chose a career in medicine because I wanted to use science to improve the quality of people’s lives. I decided to specialize in cardiology to help people with various cardiovascular conditions.

I see patients with all types of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, congestive heart failure, hypercholesterolemia, and arrhythmias. I utilize my knowledge of pharmacology to develop the most appropriate treatment plan to suit each person’s individual needs.

I provide compassionate care to my patients and treat them as part of my extended family. I take the time to listen to their individual concerns and collaborate with them to choose treatments and medications that best match their philosophy and goals. I am committed to educating my patients to equip them with the tools necessary for improving their health.

I am proud to be recognized as a fellow by the American College of Physicians and the American College of Cardiology.
