Highlights
Meet Cardiologist Jonathan Lindner, MD
I'm Jonathan Lindner. I'm a cardiologist at UVA Health. I see a broad array of patients. I'm what's called a general cardiologist. It means that I take care of patients in the hospital when they're in their greatest need. But I take care of patients as outpatients as well, and this is patients who have really almost any form of cardiac disease. So I went into medicine mostly because it's a perfect marriage of all three of my interests. I'm interested in science, love science. I've always loved puzzles, and so much of medicine is essentially solving a riddle. Day-to-day, that's essentially what I find myself doing. And the third thing is I love people, and the ability to impact somebody's life, whether they're an inpatient and in critical need, or on a day-to-day basis as an outpatient where they know that they have somebody to depend on and somebody who's watching their back as it were, is just very gratifying. So those are really the main reasons why I went into medicine. Even after decades of practicing cardiology, I still absolutely love what I do and spending time with patients. So much of what we do in cardiology is sending people for procedures and tests, but there's a huge component of it which is sitting and listening and caring about people, and that's what I really enjoy. Somebody should come to UVA Health because what we have are the people who are at the very cutting edge, the very top of their field, that are going to take care of you. These are the people who are training the next generation of doctors and people who are inventing and applying the latest technology and the latest medications, and these are the people who are going to be seeing you, whether you're an outpatient or an inpatient, and that's one of the driving reasons why people should come to UVA Health.
