Scott Eisenberg

Bio

Dr. Scott Eisenberg has practiced in Central New Jersey since 1997. Though initially trained and board-certified in general cardiology, he spent an extra year as an interventional fellow and has spent the past 14 years performing angioplasty on coronary arteries. In 2000, Dr. Scott began branching out in the educational field by becoming a national speaker for several pharmaceutical organizations. He has been a guest lecturer throughout the tri-state New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania area on topics such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, heart failure and heart attack. His interest in preventative medicine was sparked by training in lipidology, received at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. Dr. Scott subsequently became board-certified by the American Board of Clinical Lipid Specialists. He has lectured extensively on the failures of standard lipid analysis to diagnose and treat vascular disease and has achieved Fellow status with the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (ABAAM). Dr. Scott practices a more comprehensive approach to vascular medicine incorporating evidence-based therapies from both the traditional clinical world and the complementary and alternative worlds. Listen to Dr. Scott every Wedenesday at 10am on Smarter Heart University Radio on WOBM AM 1160/1310 at the Jersey Shore, or via www.SmarterHeartUniversity.com.
