Georgia’s #1 Heart Hospital has two new cardiologists seeing patients in Braselton. Pavani Kolakalapudi, MD, and Ugochukwu Egolum, MD, FACC, both joined The Heart Center of Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) today. Dr. Kolakalapudi will also see patients in Commerce, and Dr. Egolum will also see patients in Gainesville.
“As a cardiologist with The Heart Center of NGMC, I look forward to providing patients in Northeast Georgia with both routine and advanced heart health services,” said Dr. Kolakalapudi. “NGMC’s reputation for offering outstanding cardiac care at all levels means patients can receive the expert heart services they need close to home.”
