Dr. Matt McDiarmid initially became passionate about cardiology early on in life due to his own family’s struggle with cardiovascular disease. His empathy has been a key attribute for his patients, as he is always looking to provide the best care available. He has spoken on behalf of and advocated for his patients on a national level, including at Capitol Hill.  His clinical interests include coronary artery disease, aortic aneurysm, and dissection, peripheral arterial disease including critical limb ischemia, and valvular heart disease.

Dr. McDiarmid received his medical degree from Nova Southeastern University College of Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, FL. He completed his internal medicine residency at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Jacksonville, FL. He then pursued his Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship at Aurora St Luke’s Medical Center (ASLMC) in Milwaukee, WI.  He continued at ASLMC and served as Chief Fellow during his Interventional Cardiology Fellowship, including training in endovascular and structural heart interventions. He was the Fellow in Training Executive Member for the Wisconsin Chapter of the American College of Cardiology and served as Chair of the Graduate Medical Education Resident Counsel for Advocate Aurora Wisconsin. He has presented at several national conferences and continues to be an active member of the American College of Cardiology and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions.

Dr. McDiarmid is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, interventional cardiology, and endovascular medicine, with additional certifications in adult comprehensive echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, and cardiovascular computed tomography.
