Cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology are medical specialties focused on providing care to patients with heart disease. He is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
“My passion lies in helping patients with cardiovascular disease, and I look forward to bringing greater access to cardiovascular patient care in Batesville and the surrounding areas,” said Dr. Rudorfer.
