E. Joseph LeBauer, MD, founder of LeBauer HeartCare

When Joe LeBauer, MD, first came to Greensboro in 1967 to join his father in the practice of cardiology, he laid the groundwork for what would become the region’s premier cardiology group. Over the years, Dr. LeBauer and this practice have been instrumental in shaping cardiology care in this region by helping develop coronary care units across the state, and bringing Emergency Ambulance Service (EMS) to our county.

Providing innovative treatment has always been a hallmark of our practice. In 1983, cardiologist Bruce Brodie, MD, from our group was one of the first in the country to use balloon angioplasty to treat acute heart attacks. Our practice also introduced coronary angioplasty, 2D echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and electrophysiology to our community. Through participation in research trials and numerous presentations, our physicians helped establish coronary stenting as the preferred treatment for heart attacks and have played a part in evaluating numerous medications and procedures.

We are proud to have had an enduring impact on cardiac care in this region, but our mission is as vital today as ever. LeBauer HeartCare continues to offer the most advanced diagnostic and treatment options, and participate in groundbreaking clinical research. With each day and every patient, LeBauer HeartCare continues to write history.
