Dr. Soffer has been recognized throughout his career for his accomplishments

NEW YORK, NY, June 30, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Daniel Soffer, MD, Associate Director of the Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Program at Lenox Hill Hospital, has been named a VIP of the Year by Cambridge Who's Who for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in complex coronary, carotid and limb salvage procedures. Dr. Soffer is board certified in cardiology and interventional cardiology and is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and the Society for Cardiac Angiography and Interventions.

Dr. Soffer's interest in cardiology was apparent when he completed an MD in 1993 from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. After completing his internship and residency in 1997 and cardiology fellowship in 2000 at Lenox Hill Hospital, NYC he took the opportunity to become an interventional fellow at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. During his two years of training, he gained tremendous experience in coronary, peripheral and structural heart interventions. He also participated in the first procedure involving the Tandem Heart, a heart assist device which is accessible through a patient's skin. Between 2002 and 2004, Dr. Soffer assembled a team of vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists to create a successful carotid stent program in North Carolina. During this time, he was one of the first physicians in the U.S. to use a new atherectomy device to help patients with severely obstructed blood flow in their lower limbs. In 2004, Dr. Soffer returned to Lenox Hill Hospital to join his longtime mentor, Dr. Gary Roubin, and his interventional team.

Now the associate director of the interventional cardiology fellowship program at Lenox Hill, Dr. Soffer is responsible for treating and conducting procedures on patients who have cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease. He has been a co-investigator in numerous clinical trials to assess new techniques and devices for the treatment of coronary, carotid, and peripheral circulation problems, as well as valvular and structural heart disease. He retains expert-level proficiency in high-risk coronary interventions, carotid stenting, and limb salvage procedures. In addition, he performs percutaneous interventions to treat refractory high blood pressure due to narrowing of the renal artery.

Dr. Soffer has been recognized throughout his career for his accomplishments. He was a two-time recipient of the Swiss Foundation Scholarship in the early 1990s and was named one of America's top physicians by Consumers' Research Council of America. In addition, he was selected as an honorary student of cardiology and emergency medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a visiting honorary student of cardiothoracic surgery at Üelleval Hospital in Oslo, Norway. With the aspiration of growing professionally in the future, Dr. Soffer intends to continue his affiliation with the American College of Cardiology and The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions.
