Deepa Soodi, MD
A specialist in cardiology
Deepa Soodi, MD, is a cardiologist in Marshfield and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC) and the American Society of Echocardiography (FASE).
Since high school, Dr. Deepa Soodi has aspired to become a physician. With the support of her family and teachers, she pursued medical school and advanced training, achieving the milestone of specializing in cardiology.
"The idea of easing people's pain, bringing relief and seeing a smile return to their faces deeply moved me," said Dr. Soodi. "From the beginning, I saw it as a privilege to be in a role where patients place such deep trust in us. That trust carries great responsibility but also brings a strong sense of purpose and personal fulfillment."
From medical school, she developed a natural love for cardiology. "As I learned more about heart disease through objective data, I felt increasingly drawn to cardiology because it affects so many people. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. and worldwide. It's a privilege to be part of a team that helps alleviate patient suffering. I deeply value the opportunity to serve in this field," she said.
Dr. Soodi greatly enjoys the opportunity to teach and mentor medical students, residents and fellows through the center's graduate medical education programs. She shares, "This role is both rewarding and integral to my lifelong learning. I have a deep connection to rural settings and remain committed to serving the community."
She sees patients with a wide range of conditions, such as new-onset chest pain, shortness of breath, syncope, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, vascular disorders, valvular heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and arrhythmias. She helps manage these conditions through diagnosis and ongoing care using non-invasive tools such as EKGs, echocardiography, stress testing and heart monitors.
She also performs comprehensive cardiac risk assessments and focuses on optimizing medical therapy to prevent disease progression and improve cardiac function.
