About Behzad Taghizadeh, MD
I became a physician because I have always loved close and meaningful relationships with people. My goal is to care for my patients and provide the most accurate information about their condition or diagnosis. This includes defining and clarifying the issues for each individual and providing the best possible treatment that is available in managing their health. I emphasize a healthy lifestyle, preventive care and appropriate diagnostic and interventional treatments. I provide my absolute best effort in applying my skills and experience in the ever-changing field of cardiovascular medicine. Outside of my work, I enjoy playing chess and cooking for family and friends.
