Dr. Manish V. Bhalodia, M.D., is a board-certified cardiologist by the American Board of Internal Medicine Cardiovascular Disease, specializing in cardiovascular disease, nuclear cardiology, and echocardiography. He earned his medical degree from BJ Medical College in India and completed his residency and cardiology fellowship at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in Newark, New Jersey.
From vegetarian cooking to practicing mindfulness, Dr. Manish V. Bhalodia, M.D., tries lifestyle changes that he subsequently suggests to his patients. “I try it first, because if I can’t do it or it’s not effective, then it doesn’t make sense to tell my patients about it.”
It’s a hands-on approach that Dr. Bhalodia finds helpful in inspiring change. “Lifestyle goes hand in hand with cardiology,” he says. “Healthy habits can reduce the need for more invasive and/or expensive treatments.”
Dr. Bhalodia treats such issues as congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, heart attack, coronary artery disease and syncope (fainting). Patients enjoy the comfortable atmosphere and the nonintimidating conversations he creates. He wants patients to be able to talk frankly about their concerns. “Sometimes that includes stresses in their lives that may be impacting their health,” he says.
He joined Vanguard to be part of a groundbreaking movement in value-based care. “I feel there is a lot to be gained by the synergy between a cardiologist and primary care physicians,” he notes. “Ultimately, it benefits the patient to have well-coordinated care.”
Helping others has been a focus of Dr. Bhalodia’s since he was in middle school, when he first envisioned his future career. The idea of alleviating human suffering was quite powerful to him, even at that young age. Due to his strong conviction about access to quality health care, he chose to forgo joining his father’s thriving accounting practice in favor of becoming a physician.
“During residency, cardiology was one of the toughest branches to understand and get selected for a fellowship,” he says. “To me, it was the most satisfying and gratifying feeling to be able to make a meaningful difference in a person’s quality of life. You can help save somebody from the brink of a catastrophic situation.”
When he is not working, Dr. Bhalodia enjoys reading, practicing yoga, and playing tennis, table tennis, and cricket. He also enjoys traveling and exploring different cultures with his wife and twin sons.
