Dr. Nicole Harkin, MD, FACC

Top3Doctors.com selected Dr. Nicole Harkin as a top cardiologist in San Francisco because of her strong training, her four board certifications, and her clear focus on heart disease prevention. She earned her medical degree magna cum laude from Boston University School of Medicine. After an internal medicine residency at Columbia University, she completed her cardiology fellowship at NYU and was named chief fellow. Dr. Harkin is board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, echocardiography, and clinical lipidology. That last credential matters, since cholesterol care sits at the center of heart prevention.

What we like most about Dr. Harkin is the way she built Whole Heart Cardiology around time with each patient. Her San Francisco practice uses a membership model, so patients get more access than a typical rushed visit allows. She treats high cholesterol and high blood pressure and gives special attention to women’s heart health. In the office, patients can have a full heart assessment, VO2 max exercise testing, and carotid ultrasound. Telemedicine is also available for patients in California, New York, and Florida. For these reasons, Top3Doctors.com proudly names Dr. Nicole Harkin among the top three cardiologists in San Francisco.
