Before joining Northeast Georgia Health System, Dr. Samady served as Professor of Medicine and Director of Interventional Cardiology at Emory University School of Medicine for more than a decade. In that role, he performed complex coronary interventions, oversaw the Emory cardiac catheterization laboratories for four hospitals, and trained clinical cardiologists and interventional cardiology fellows. He helped establish Emory University’s complex coronary center and its women’s heart disease invasive program, leading them to rank among the top programs in the nation.

In regards to his educational background, Dr. Samady went to medical school at the University of Sheffield Medical School in England and did residency training in London and in Sheffield.
