Not unlike many of his colleagues, Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Matthew Smolin became a physician because it combined an interest in science with a desire to help people. As an internal medicine resident, I was exposed to all the different specialties and got to try them on for size," says Dr. Smolin. I found that I enjoyed taking care of cardiac patients the most. These patients could get very sick very quickly and you can really make a difference helping them get well."
