About me
Jafar Alzubi, MD is an interventional cardiologist at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital and MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center.

Dr. Alzubi specializes in minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures, including percutaneous coronary interventions, valvular heart disease therapies, and left atrial appendage occlusion devices in patients with atrial fibrillation. He has advanced expertise in performing complex coronary interventions and employing the latest technologies and mechanical circulatory support devices during high-risk procedures. These innovative approaches allow Dr. Alzubi to successfully treat patients who might otherwise be considered too high-risk for traditional interventions or cardiac surgery.
Dr. Alzubi is deeply committed to thoughtful, individualized care.

A strong advocate for shared decision-making, he always ensures that patients understand their options and feel empowered in their care.

Philosophy of Care
“I strongly believe that every patient deserves to feel heard and supported. My philosophy is to provide the highest quality of care as well as the compassion, time, and honesty I would want for my own family. I commit to being alongside them during their unique heart journey, always listening to them, and explaining things clearly about every decision regarding their health.”
