Jesal V. Popat, M.D., FACC, Voted a Top Cardiologist by Tampa Magazine

TAMPA, Fla., August 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jesal V. Popat, M.D., FACC, was recently voted as a "Top Doc" in Tampa Magazine's 5th Annual Top Doctors Survey.

This year, Tampa Magazine tasked over 9,000 local physicians with nominating the best doctors from Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. Among a field of 314 physicians spread across 69 different specialities, 14 cardiologists were honored.

What sets Dr. Popat apart from the other 13 cardiologists that made the list? A preventative approach that takes patient health and wellness to heart.

"Unlike other cardiologists, I spend a fair amount of time focused on nutrition, which is often the root of a patient's metabolic imbalance," said Dr. Popat.

His patients are encouraged to take an active role in their heart health. In Dr. Popat's view, patients experience improved outcomes when working alongside a cardiologist focused on finding a treatment option that doesn't rely on polypharmacy.

"I work with [patients] to formulate dietary goals, often make restaurant recommendations, and [set] weight goals at every appointment," said Dr. Popat.

For Dr. Popat, assisting patients isn't just a profession; it's a calling.

"My father was a physician in my small town in South Africa. He often made house calls and knew the members of his patients' families by name."

Today, he is following in his father's footsteps by getting to know his patients and empowering them to change their lifestyles.

In addition to specializing in preventative measures that forgo the need for multiple prescription medications, Dr. Popat is prepared to treat patients with the most technologically advanced, minimally invasive procedures available to screen and combat heart disease.

With an emphasis on minimizing medications and modifying lifestyles, Dr. Popat is breaking the mold by placing the overall health of his patients first, ensuring long-term wellness.
