Northside Heart, one of the largest groups to provide cardiology services in the North Atlanta area, is located at 4800 Olde Towne Parkway, Suite 420 and offers complete cardiovascular care.

Two highly-experienced cardiovascular doctors will lead the practice, Dr. Michael Balk and Dr. Faresa Weragoda.
