A fellowship-trained cardiologist, Dr. Lombardo joined his father’s practice, Advanced Cardiovascular Specialists, in 1987.

The mission of Advanced Cardiovascular Specialists is to provide patients and the community with the best cardiovascular treatment and prevention in an efficient and compassionate manner. The practice’s core values include the following: to maintain integrity and honesty; to save lives, ease suffering and improve the quality of life; to provide superior care ethically and efficiently; to be a responsible steward of resources and maintain fiscal responsibility; and to treat each employee with respect and dignity and provide opportunities for growth, security, and advancement.

From 1973 until 1976, Dr. Lombardo graduated with his undergraduate degree from Tulane University. He then went on to earn his medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in 1981.

Furthering his training, he performed his internship in internal medicine at Parkland Memorial Hospital in 1982, and his residency in general surgery at the University of Louisville in 1983.

Helping patients maintain a heart-healthy life, he has been board-certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and interventional cardiology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.
