Dr. Qureshi
Dr. Qureshi began serving our
community in 1978. He was the
first interventional cardiologist in
Denton County and co-founded
the cardiology program at Denton Regional Medical Center, serving as the Cardiac Catheterization Lab Director for over 25 years.
He currently serves in that role at
the Medical Center of Lewisville
and Presbyterian Hospital Denton.
Dr. Qureshi believes that the best
physicians maintain a progressive approach to medicine, while
working to take care of all the patients needs in a holistic manner.
Though Dr. Qureshi loves the practice of cardiology and being able
to help his patients both in times of crisis or to simply maintain
a higher quality of life, he especially appreciates the personal
relationships he has formed with many of his patients. He is an
avid gardener with 4 adult children and 5 grandchildren.
