Jaime Gerber, MD, is a cardiologist who provides preventive cardiology, and who diagnoses and treats a range of conditions including coronary artery disease, high cholesterol, and peripheral vascular disease.

Stephen Possick, MD, is cardiologist with a particular interest in the connection between the cardiovascular system and chronic liver disease. Chronic liver disease can harm the cardiovascular system, including a higher heart rate and greater cardiac output.

Steven Jacoby, MD became interested in treating heart disease after seeing how coronary heart disease, cholesterol disorders, and diabetes affected his family members. As a general cardiologist, Dr. Jacoby is often one of the first doctors a patient with a heart condition encounters at Yale Medicine. He likes to use models of hearts and diagrams of the cardiovascular system to explain what’s happening to patients and help put them at ease. “Every patient is different,” he says. “We talk about the long-term consequences of each treatment and what each patient’s fears are.”
