As an interventional and invasive cardiologist, Dr. Moises Fraifeld enjoys working alongside a team of physicians who share his goal of exceeding the expectations of patients and their families. That’s why he has worked at the practice since 1999.

“The teamwork and trust among our physicians is phenomenal,” says Dr. Fraifeld, who completed his fellowship training in interventional cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center. “We all have a great deal of respect for one another.”

Dr. Fraifeld treats both coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease. “The best thing about my profession is seeing a patient’s health improve considerably and allowing them to enjoy a better quality of life.”

As one of the oldest and most experienced private cardiology practices in Central Florida, at Cardiovascular Associates of Lake County, we are dedicated to bringing innovation in cardiovascular care to our patients. Since 1992, we have been your partners for life.
