Overview
As Dr. Ahmad Al Turk matured into a physician, he learned the value of personal relationships with patients, and that a few words of encouragement can have a profound and positive impact on patients’ health. When words of encouragement are accompanied by action, the impact on one’s health becomes even greater. A wise mentor always tells his trainees to listen to their patients and to help them feel better. Whether it is through a procedural intervention, medical therapy, or mere reassurance that your heart is ok, his job is to make you feel better.
After graduating from the American University of Beirut, Dr. Al Turk received training at four prestigious U.S. academic institutions including, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Tulane University School of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, and Banner-University of Arizona. Training from different schools of thought helped Dr. Al Turk realize that there is no one right way that works all the time, but rather one right approach for one particular patient at a single point in time. Having trained under world leaders in the fields of Interventional Cardiology and Structural Heart Disease, he aims to bring these experiences and advanced procedural skills to your side in Springfield, IL.
Dr. Al Turk says the road that is ahead of him continues to be inspired by the love and devotion for his family, and his life will always be sweetened by the words of his wife and the giggles of his son.
