Professional Interests
As a Cardiologist, Jorges Brenes Salazar, MD, is dedicated to enriching lives through expert care.Dr.Brenes Salazar has been with OMC since 2021 and specializes in general community cardiology for adult patients including treatment for general comprehensive heart disease and the evaluation and management of multiple cardiac conditions such as electrical problems of the heart (arrhythmia), leaky or narrow valves, congestive heart failure, and chest discomfort or blockages in the arteries of the heart.Dr. Brenes Salazar says, "In this era of technology, especially in Cardiology, advances go so rapidly, and you can get lost and focus more on the technology and the treatment strategies rather than the person and the family that you have in front of you. That’s a trend that we have to move away from, and focus on the patient and doctor relationship, which has a nature of being something sacred.”
