Karing Hearts Cardiology
I am originally from the Philippines, and grew up in Manila, a big city much like New York or Los Angeles. When I finished medical school there, I began looking for residency programs in the U.S. During an interview at Quillen College of Medicine here in Johnson City, I just fell in love with this place. On my first visit, I was actually shocked at how small it was, but at the same time I liked the green grass, the trees, the quietness, the lack of traffic and how easy it is to get from one place to another in about 15 minutes. The friendliness of the people was one of the things that I noticed often. In big cities people hardly smile at you. But here, even people you don’t know smile at you, ask how you are and strike up conversations. When I was younger, I remember playing “doctor,” and thinking I would like to be one. I would mix powders and water in vials to make “medicine” and inject it into anything. Then in high school I realized how much I did love medicine. It was more of a desire to see people, talk to them, diagnose their problems and, hopefully, help them. It is a privilege to care for my patients; helping them understand what their medical issues are is of utmost importance to me. Cardiology is such a complex specialty, so I try to explain to them what their symptoms are, what could be the reason, and then from there come up with plans to do testing. Including patients as part of the decision-making process is key to growing our relationship as physician and patient it makes it easier when both doctor and the patient understand the plan and the goal. Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my two children and my beautiful wife, Carmina. To de-stress, I run or go to the gym almost every day and work in my yard almost every weekend. Also I spend a lot weekend time driving the kids back and forth to activities. While that may sound mundane, it is one of the most rewarding things I have the privilege of doing. Being a doctor is wonderful, but to me, being a father and a husband is the most special role of all. Dr. Garcia is highly rated in 12 conditions, according to our data.

Ballad Health CVA Heart Institute
I have always called this area “home” since I grew up in the eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina region. Being a doctor has been my calling since childhood; I always knew that I would be a physician one day. I treat my patients with high quality and evidence-guided medical care. Cardiology is a unique specialty, and my interest has really changed over the years. Initially, I was interested because of diagnostics and imaging, being the radiology-based specialty that we are. However, in time I became more interested in the critical care aspect of cardiology and treating acutely ill patients. I actually went back for my MBA, not for the purpose of understanding the financial aspects of medicine, but rather how to deliver value and high quality care as some of the largest cost in medicine deals with cardiovascular disease. I have one child with special needs, so I do a lot of work with Shriners Hospitals for Children. I serve on their hospital board, and it has been a great joy in my life to help with their hospital systems. Shriners give away almost three-fourths of $1 billion dollars each year to support our 22 hospitals. It has been very rewarding to help administer that money, which is funded out of endowments and many individual donations. My particular Shriners Hospital is in Greenville, South Carolina, and many children from our area are treated there. Dr. Ponder is highly rated in 8 conditions, according to our data.

What is a cardiologist?
A cardiologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases of the heart and blood vessels (e.g., arteries, capillaries, veins, etc). A cardiologist manages conditions such as heart attacks, heart failure, and high blood pressure with medications, lifestyle changes, and various procedures.
What is the difference between a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon?
There are many types of doctors who help keep people’s hearts healthy. A cardiac surgeon, for example, performs surgeries on the heart, including heart bypass surgeries, valve repairs or replacements, and heart transplants. A cardiologist focuses on treating heart problems through non-surgical methods, such as medications, and surgical procedures, such as angioplasty.
What does a cardiologist treat?
A cardiologist treats many heart-related conditions, including:
- Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Congenital heart defects (heart problems present at birth)
- Cardiomyopathy (diseases of the heart muscle)
- Pericarditis (inflammation of the lining around the heart)
- Endocarditis (heart valve diseases)
When should I see a cardiologist?
You should consider getting a referral to a cardiologist if you experience the following:
- Your primary care doctor recommends a heart evaluation
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Shortness of breath
- Palpitations (irregular or rapid heartbeats)
- High cholesterol levels
- A family history of heart disease
- Type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes both increase the risk of heart problems
What tests are available for heart disease?
Several tests can help diagnose heart disease, including:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): Measures the electrical activity of the heart
- Echocardiogram: Uses ultrasound to create images of the heart
- Stress test: Assesses how the heart works during physical exertion
- Cardiac catheterization: Involves threading a catheter to the heart to check for blockages
- Blood tests: Measure levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and other markers
- Holter monitor: Records continuous ECG over 24 to 48 hours (about 1-2 days)
- Cardiac MRI or CT scan: Provides detailed images of the heart and blood vessels
What are the early signs of heart disease?
Early signs of heart disease can include:
- Chest pain or discomfort (angina)
- Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity
- Fatigue or weakness
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet (edema)
- Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
- Nausea or sweating, especially during a heart attack
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve health outcomes and prevent serious complications.

Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.

What questions should I ask my Cardiologist?
Here are some sample questions:
- Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated?
- What symptoms or side effects should I watch for?
- What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results?
- Are there other specialists I need to see?
