“Cardiology has the perfect blend of life or death situations that can occur in the middle of the night, where, hopefully, I can make a difference in a patient’s outcome,” explains Dr. Le. “On the other hand, I have patients I have seen several times a year for nearly two decades. They’ve become like friends or good neighbors.”

Dr. Le has worked with Eisenhower Desert Cardiology Center since 1996. “Cardiology fundamentally addresses quality of life issues,” says Dr. Le. “There is a lot of preventive care in terms of lifestyle. People are becoming more and more health conscious and they come in with a desire to learn more about making the right choices in their lifestyle. Their goal is not just to live longer but to live better.”

Throughout his medical career, Dr. Le has spent time as faculty at Eisenhower Medical Center and is also a visiting professor at several medical schools in Vietnam. In addition to teaching and lecturing, Dr. Le has performed medical mission work throughout Asia and South America.
