Dr. Amara, MD, FACC
Preventive cardiologist in New York. Eighteen years in practice, ten of them in interventional cardiology.
My story
From the cath lab to prevention
I trained in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins and completed my cardiology fellowship at Columbia. For the next decade I worked in interventional cardiology, treating heart attacks as they happened.
Many of those patients had warning signs years earlier. In 2019 I opened a prevention-focused practice so I could spend time with people before an emergency, not after.
Outside the clinic I teach residents, lead research on cardiovascular risk in women, and speak to the public about heart health.

A few personal notes
I grew up in Houston, the daughter of a nurse. I run the Brooklyn Half most years, cook on Sundays, and speak English, Igbo and conversational Spanish.
