Eduardo Andres Calagua Bedoya, MD

I became a physician assistant in cardiology to make a positive impact on the lives of others. I want to be comprehensive and thorough while also being compassionate and kind. I'm a good listener and give my patients detailed explanations. A rewarding aspect of my career is seeing the positive impact I can make on my patients’ lives. That motivates me to continue learning and providing quality care.

Vascular disease can affect every aspect of a patient’s life. Its complexity means proper treatment requires a comprehensive plan. That's why I listen carefully to my patients so I can understand their concerns. I explain care options in detail so that with their help, I can tailor each plan to their unique needs. I’m able to walk my patients through that process and provide the best care possible thanks to the full gamut of therapies available at Dartmouth Health. Ultimately, my goal is to help my patients tackle this complicated disease. The sooner they get back to the activities they love, the better.

My clinical practice focuses on caring for pregnant and postpartum individuals with psychiatric illnesses, including substance use disorders. About one in five women experiences a mental illness during pregnancy or after giving birth. Many do not receive appropriate treatment because they lack access to reliable, evidence-based information about the reproductive safety of psychiatric treatments, including medications. I have many years of experience in this subspecialty, which allows me to support patients during this joyful yet often challenging phase of life. I help them navigate the complex decisions surrounding psychiatric treatment during pregnancy and lactation. I value the opportunity to connect with my patients and to understand their perspectives on their health care. Each person brings their own priorities and goals to the psychiatric treatment relationship, and I approach care with that in mind.
