Dr. Jacob Green is Board Certified in Cardiovascular Disease, having received his training at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia; where he completed an additional fellowship in Interventional Cardiology. Dr. Green received his Doctor of Medicine degree from The University of Arizona.

Dr. Green specializes in coronary and peripheral arterial disease diagnosis and treatment including minimally invasive techniques such as angioplasty and stenting. He has particular interest and specialized training in catheter-based treatment of valvular and structural heart disease including aortic stenosis (AS), patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defects (ASD).
