You'll join a dynamic cardiovascular team at CarolinaEast that combines experienced leadership with rapid growth and collegial support. Under the guidance of Dr. Alex Kirby, an accomplished interventional cardiologist and Medical Director trained at Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, the practice prioritizes both clinical excellence and physician satisfaction. Dr. Kirby leads by example—approachable, supportive, and deeply invested in both patient outcomes and physician development.
The general cardiology team includes two experienced physicians with complementary approaches—one focused on high-volume practice, the other on work-life balance—providing mentorship tailored to your career philosophy. They are supported by four advanced practice providers with deep cardiology expertise, functioning as true physician extenders to optimize care and workflow.
The practice culture is defined by flexibility, collaboration, and shared growth. Even during recruitment challenges, the team has preserved morale and care standards through creative scheduling and team-first attitudes. The administration’s strategic investments—new cath lab, EP growth, advanced imaging—affirm that cardiovascular services are a priority.
You’ll work in a truly collaborative clinical setting—interventional cardiologists assist general colleagues in procedures, EP physicians provide rapid consultations, and cardiac surgeons are easily accessible. Regional referral networks are solidified, fostering steady patient volume and eliminating competitive strain found in less coordinated markets.
This collaborative energy also fuels practice development, with seasoned physicians helping new hires build panels, refine procedural skills, and connect with the medical community. Whether you're early in your career or seeking a better work environment, this team and infrastructure provide a strong foundation for long-term success. Meet the team here.
