Jordan Safirstein, MD, FACC, FSCAI, is Board-Certified in Interventional Cardiology, Cardiovascular Disease, and Adult Transthoracic and Transesophageal Echocardiography.
Dr. Safirstein earned his Medical Degree from The Chicago Medical School. He performed his residency in Internal Medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, in New York. He then continued his fellowship training in Cardiovascular Disease and Cardiovascular Intervention at St. Vincent's Catholic Medical Center in New York City where he was mentored by Dr. John T. Coppola, a world-renowned expert of the transradial approach to cardiac catheterization.
Dr. Safirstein is Fellowship-Trained in Cardiovascular Disease and specializes in cardiac and peripheral vascular Intervention as well as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) – that is, aortic valve replacement without open heart surgery. He is one of the few interventional cardiologists on the Valve Center Team at Morristown Medical Center, where they have performed more TAVRs than anyone in the state of New Jersey. Morristown Medical Center was ranked in the Top 25 Hospitals in the US for Cardiovascular Disease by US News & World Report and #1 in the State of New Jersey.
Dr. Safirstein is also the Director of Transradial Intervention at Morristown, and is a nationally-recognized thought leader, lecturer and teacher of the transradial approach to cardiac catheterizations and stent implantations. Utilizing an artery in the wrist, as opposed to the groin, to perform procedures reduces bleeding complications, improves patient comfort, and allows patients to sit up immediately, walk quicker and leave the hospital sooner – even after a stent is placed!
By using the wrist (radial) artery, patients avoid layingflat for prolonged periods of time and avoid unfortunate – sometimes severe – vascular complications of the femoral 
approach. Dr. Safirstein conducts courses and runs trials at Morristown Medical Center several times during the year to teach other interventional cardiologists about this approach. He has lectured at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Annual Scientific Sessions, the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Intervention (SCAI) Sessions nearly every year since 2011.
Dr. Jordan Safirstein has also published and presented his data extensively on peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM), a form of heart failure occurring in pregnant women. He is recognized nationally for his contribution to the field and has published and presented on the topic.
See Dr. Safirstein's press coverage in the New Jersey Star Ledger and in USA Today.

Dr. Stuart Shulruff earned his medical degree at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. He completed an internal medicine residency and cardiology fellowship at the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago.
Dr. Shulruff is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC). He has been in active private practice in the Morris County area continuously since 1983.
Robert Wang, MD, FACC is board certified in nuclear cardiology, interventional cardiology, cardiovascular disease, and internal medicine. He is fellowship trained in cardiology.
