About me
Micheas Zemedkun, MD, is a non-invasive cardiologist at MedStar Washington Hospital Center and MedStar Health at Lafayette Centre.
He uses his experience and clinical expertise to diagnose and deliver specialized care across a wide range of cardiovascular needs. His approach to each patient is individualized and utilizes the latest medical technology and information. Dr. Zemedkun specializes in coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease and preventive cardiology. He strives to implement the most effective approach for each patient, by offering his patients coordinated care, and working closely with other care providers to ensure the best possible individualized treatments.
He believes that interaction with each patient brings the most insight into that patient’s illness and needs, and finds it important to invest in listening, explaining and engaging patients and their families in their treatment plan.
