HENDERSONVILLE – AdventHealth Hendersonville welcomed Eduardo Balcells, MD to its team at AdventHealth Medical Group Cardiology at Medical Office Building*. Dr. Balcells will serve as the Medical Director of Cardiology and lead the development of the new Interventional Cardiology program. He brings with him a wealth of experience in cardiology and a commitment to providing patient-centered care. 

Board-certified in internal, cardiology and vascular medicine, Dr. Balcells is also a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation. Over the past eight years, he has cared for patients at Pardee Hospital, Charles George VA Medical Center, and Haywood Regional Medical Center. Now he is bringing his nearly 30 years of cardiology expertise to the growing number of patients choosing AdventHealth for care.

Interventional cardiology is a specialized area of heart medicine that uses less invasive methods to treat heart conditions. Doctors use tiny incisions and special tools on flexible tubes, called catheters, to repair the heart or clear blockages in blood vessels. This means patients can avoid the risks of open-heart surgery and often recover more quickly, getting back to their daily lives with improved heart health.

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Dr. Balcells is married and has five children. He and his wife enjoy spending time together teaching yoga. 

Outside of work, Dr. Balcells values fitness, community connection, and improving community resources to better the lives of those marginalized and disadvantaged by health, income, or life tragedies.
