In this episode, Dr. Fieno shares his personal and professional journey with GLP-1 drugs, discussing the profound impact these medications have had on the health of his cardiac and obese patients. As a specialist in a variety of cardiology-related procedures, including pacemakers and defibrillators, Dr. Fieno also delves into his role as a vein specialist and his experiences founding an obesity clinic at Heart South Cardiovascular Group, PC, in Alabama. Under his guidance, the clinic has seen remarkably successful outcomes.
