About Gary E. Oppenheim
I perform coronary stenting and other interventional procedures, but my passion is in cardiac prevention. Early detection of coronary artery disease is critical, as nearly 50% of men and women will die of cardiovascular disease. By the time that a person has cardiac related chest discomfort or a positive stress test, coronary stenting and/or coronary bypass graft surgery are often required; waiting for symptoms to occur is also not a good option given that 1/2-2/3 of cardiac patients will first present with a heart attack or death. We now know that we can reduce the risk of heart attack or death from heart disease in up to 90% of individuals by appopriate changes in diet, exercise, and body weight, abstention from cigarette smoking, and if appropriate, medications. We can detect coronary/vascular disease BEFORE cardiac events occur by noninvasive testing, such as with EBT (which is a low radiation CT scan that evaluates for calcium in the coronary arteries as a marker for coronary disease, a so called "Mammogram of the Heart"), or by carotid IMT (which uses ultrasound to evaluate for vascular disease in the carotid artery). These techniques, in conjunction with advanced lipid testing (Berkeley Heart Labs and others) can help guide changes in lifestyle and medications so that the risk of heart attack and dying from cardiac disease can be markedly reduced.

Swedish Patient
Dr. Oppenheim is an excellent cardiologist and very caring person. This is NOT the feeling I get from some of my other doctors at Swedish. Dr. Oppenheim truly wants to help his patients and listens respectfully with concern for ANY problem I bring up in regards to my health and what his opinion is. Just a model Dr. For all at Swedish to emulate. I value his professionalism and his care especially! He doesn't make me feel like I am on an assembly line, just another number to get through as fast as possible like some of my doctors I see regularly! He treats me like a human being with Important concerns and opinions. He also doesn't act as if he is above me as many doctors seem to think and treat me. This is a common complaint I hear from family and friends. Patients are h8man being NOT another patient to rush out of the office as fast as possible and disregard their patients concerns. He Is an admirable doctor AND human being-a rarity in the medical fieled lately.
Swedish Patient
Such a great ability and willingness to tease out the details of a complicated stiory, and transparently parse through it so I understand how the pieces relate annd can feel secure that they have been considered and evaluated. Can and does step back and look at the whole picture, not just his specialty, which makes his assessments and plans even more helpful. Isn't afraid to acknowledge things that can't be fixed. I could go on and on.
