I love the dynamic nature of cardiology because the heart is an organ that's always in motion. Performing angioplasty or inserting a stent to treat a heart attack and fix a potentially lethal problem is very gratifying. Dr. Conley received a Bachelor of Arts with distinction in Biology from Hendrix College. After receiving his undergraduate degree, he entered the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences where he earned his MD in 1987.

My undergraduate degree is in chemical engineering - pumps, pipes and fluid flow. Because of that background, cardiology made sense to me. Cardiology treatments actually matter - they extend lives and relieve symptoms. An Arkansas native, Dr. Geoghagan joined Arkansas Cardiology after serving as a staff cardiologist in the U. S. Air Force. He held the rank of Major and was chief of cardiovascular services at Eglin Air Force Regional Hospital when he left the military after 10 years of service.

The first time I saw a cardiologist place a stent in someone having a heart attack and how quickly it reversed that situation, I knew I wanted to be a part of that and chose cardiology as my specialty. Dr. Starnes graduated from Hendrix College with distinction in biology before earning a medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He then completed an internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He went on to complete fellowships in Cardiovascular Disease and Interventional Cardiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
