Dr. Kao is an interventional cardiac specialist and performs very technical procedures to open blocked arteries, treating and preventing heart attacks, and relieving chest pain. Procedures are performed minimally invasively, which results in a shorter recovery time for patients.

During his time there, he led the development of the hospital’s Electrophysiology Program, Chest Pain Center and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Program.
