The Braselton and Jefferson communities now have even more access to high-quality heart care as Olaniyi “Bode” Osofisan, MD, is joining the heart and vascular team of Georgia Heart Institute.

Dr. Osofisan, a board-certified cardiologist and a fellow of the American College of Cardiology, graduated from medical school at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He completed his fellowship training at Barnes-Jewish Hospital at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

Dr. Osofisan most recently cared for patients at UnityPoint Health in Peoria, Illinois. He has been a practicing cardiologist for more than 30 years, bringing extensive experience and comprehensive knowledge to the patients he serves.

“My goal is to provide the best cardiovascular care with the utmost compassion while utilizing state-of-the-art technology and evidence-based techniques. I strive to exceed patient’s expectations and achieve favorable outcomes,” said Dr. Osofisan, who is also a member of the Association of Black Cardiologists. “Georgia Heart Institute shares in that mission by improving the health of the community it serves, which is why I’m excited to be a part of this organization.”

Outside of work, Dr. Osofisan enjoys playing table tennis and soccer, jogging and cycling.

“We’re proud to welcome Dr. Osofisan to Georgia Heart Institute,” said Habib Samday, MD, president of Georgia Heart Institute. “Compassionate care is our top priority and I’m confident that he will bring that level of care to the communities in Braselton and Jefferson.”
