Raul M. Garcia

Overview

Dr. Mercado comes from a family that places great value on education. Growing up, he had the privilege of having several physicians as role models. Their dedication to patient care and lifelong learning inspired him to pursue medicine. What drew him most to becoming a doctor was the unique combination of challenges and opportunities the field offers, including the ability to adapt and commitment to continuous learning. He is continually inspired by the immediate, life-changing impact interventional cardiology has on patients—often at some of the most critical moments in their lives. Dr. Mercado specializes in endovascular treatment, ranging from preventive strategies to advanced therapies such as angioplasty, stenting, and intravascular imaging. What excites him is the evolving intersection of innovation and patient care—each advancement providing new ways to improve outcomes and enhance quality of life. One of his favorite ways to practice self-care and wellness is riding his mountain bike, which provides the perfect balance of mental clarity and physical exertion, leaving him feeling refreshed and re-energized.

His top areas of expertise are Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, Hypertension, Heart Failure, and Pulmonary Edema.
