Dr. Ahmed AlBadri is an interventional cardiologist with particular expertise in minimally invasive catheter-based therapies for the treatment of heart disease, including heart valve issues, heart vessels disease and holes in the heart. Over recent years, he has performed many of these procedures with both commercially and emerging research devices, having completed his interventional cardiology fellowship in one of the most prestigious institutions in the world. He also gained expertise in treating both chronic total occlusions (CTO) and most complex coronary lesions subsets during his training.
Dr. AlBadri’s research interest focuses on developing minimally invasive techniques to manage complex blockages in the heart vessels, heart valves such as transcatheter aortic and mitral valve repair and replacement. He received multiple grants to support his clinical research and has been co-investigator in many national and international studies, evaluating new treatment devices for heart conditions. He has published over 70 peer-reviewed manuscripts in high impact journals and is regularly invited to speak at leading national and international conferences.
He appreciates physicians’ collaboration at Wellstar, where he works closely with other cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. This collaboration enables patients to benefit from the team’s collective experience and expertise.
“One of my most important duties, as a physician, is to listen to my patients’ concerns and guide them to understand their medical condition. We can work on fixing it together.”
“My goal is to provide my patients the energy and the ability to do their hobbies, while spending quality time with their loved ones without symptoms. I will do my best to make this possible for my patients.”

I felt very at ease under the circumstances. The doctors, surgeon, nurses, staff were all very nice. The doctor and surgeon were very clear and didn't speak down to me. My biggest panic was taking the mental evaluation. I do not do well under test situations at all, especially when I am already nervous. That was the only downside to the visit.
