Best Cardiologists and Heart Medicine Doctors in Buffalo, MN

Dr. Harwalkar considers himself an intelligent, calm, caring and considerate human being. He enjoys interacting with patients and their family and prefers prevention rather than treatment of health problems. Alternative medicine is naturally incorporated into his practice with his Indian background. Dr. Harwalkar specializes in imaging cardiology which include echo, nuclear imaging, CT scan and more. He speaks a few Indian languages, though somewhat broken!

My approach is based upon a philosophy I learned from a mentor during my Public Health training. He said if I listened to patients long enough, they would tell me exactly what the issue was. I respect the patient's perspective and focus on joint decision-making regarding treatment choices. I believe in taking time to educate patients and their families about possible causes of their illness and work to encourage habits and lifestyle changes that prevent worsening of an illness. There are many factors that affect health outcomes, so I work closely with other specialties to address issues beyond my scope as a cardiologist to ensure that patients have all the support they need. I always want patients to leave satisfied that their questions and concerns have been addressed.

Dr. Jason Wu is a non-invasive cardiologist who, alongside the Heart & Vascular team, works with patients and their heart conditions so that they can enjoy their best life.

Dr. Fruechte cares for people with cardiac conditions, and enjoys caring for people with heart rhythm disorders. As with all areas of medicine, he believes that effective and compassionate cardiac care needs to include an understanding of the whole person, and how their condition and different treatment options fit into their life, their preferences, and their beliefs. He enjoys talking with patients and taking time to help them understand their options. Having a cardiac condition can be scary, but understanding the condition and potential treatments can also be very reassuring. As a cardiac electrophysiologist, a significant portion of his time is spent in the electrophysiology lab performing catheter-based tests and ablation procedures, which for many cardiac rhythm problems may be curative. Dr. Fruechte also places pacemakers and defibrillators to help treat abnormally slow or fast heart rhythms, and he work extensively with the device clinic.
