About Dr. Dhar

Clinical Biography

Gaurav Dhar, M.D., joined UAMS Health in 2021 as the Director of Interventional Cardiology. His goal is to establish and grow the Structural Heart Program at UAMS.  Previously, he was the Medical Director of the Structural Cardiac Interventional Program for the Sparrow Healthcare System in Lansing.

Clinical Focus

As the director of Interventional Cardiology, a subspecialty of Cardiology, Dr. Dhar diagnoses and treats conditions and diseases of the heart and blood vessels using nonsurgical, catheter-based procedures and specialized imaging techniques.

“We were very fortunate to recruit Dr. Dhar, a nationally recognized expert in Structural Heart Disease, to initiate our program at UAMS Health,” said John P. Mounsey, M.D., Director of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine within the UAMS College of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine.

“Under his guidance, we have begun Left Atrial Occlusion Procedures to prevent strokes in patients with Atrial Fibrillation who can’t take anticoagulants. We have also begun to perform Aortic and Mitral Valve Operations through catheters inserted into blood vessels,” Mounsey said. “Formerly, these procedures would have required Open Heart Surgery. I am very excited that we can now offer these state-of-the-art surgeries to our patients at UAMS.”

Only bad thing was the time it took. For a 10 minute meeting you need an hour.

I think my appointment was a mistake. I'd had an appointment with the Renal dept and it had to be rescheduled. I ended up seeing cardiology instead and wasn't sure why but the doctor was very helpful.

I took a day off from work for this visit that could have honestly been done over a 5 minute phone call. This appointment was a post ER visit and I had hoped for more than just a Doctor listening to my heart for 15 seconds and scheduling me for a Stress Test. This is poor time management on behalf of the patient. This visit was simply a waste of time.
