Abrazo Medical Group is adding an Interventional Cardiologist to its West Valley cardiology program to meet growing patient demand in one of the fastest-expanding regions in the country. This is a growth position, not a replacement. Buckeye has ranked as the number one fastest-growing city in the United States for three consecutive years, and Goodyear ranks among the top three. The West Valley is underserved by cardiology specialists, and existing physicians are consistently at capacity.
The new physician will split time between outpatient clinic and inpatient hospital coverage at Abrazo West Campus, a Level 1 Trauma Center and Cardiac Receiving Center. The program operates two dedicated cath labs and a newly built hybrid room, all equipped with Philips technology.

The West Valley cardiology team cannot keep pace with patient volume. Physicians in the group describe a patient population that goes long periods without access to cardiology care, creating high patient loyalty and a consistently full practice. The existing three interventionalists report running at capacity. The addition of a fourth physician will allow the team to manage hospital census more effectively, balance call coverage, and continue building the program.
