This isn’t just another cardiology office. This is the practice I always wished existed when my own family needed a cardiologist.

I’m Christoph Sossou, and I founded Ambulatory Cardiovascular Center because I was tired of watching good people get lost in the healthcare maze—waiting weeks for an appointment, seeing a different provider every visit, and leaving more confused than when they arrived.

I trained at some of the nation’s top programs, published original research in leading peer-reviewed journals, and have cared for hundreds of patients—from routine heart disease to advanced heart failure and transplant cases—while performing hundreds of catheterizations and minimally invasive procedures.

But one night changed everything. My grandmother developed chest pain on a Friday evening. She called her cardiologist’s office and never received a call back. That moment crystallized everything I believe medicine should be. I promised myself that when I opened my own practice, no patient would ever feel abandoned again.

That promise is now this practice.

My Mission

  • To treat every patient exactly as I would want my own family treated—with expertise, urgency, and unwavering availability. To deliver world-class, evidence-based cardiovascular care that is personal, accessible, and truly human.

My Vision

  • A cardiology practice where patients never wait weeks for answers, never see a stranger at their appointment, and never feel alone with their worries. Where direct access to your cardiologist isn’t a luxury—it’s the standard. Where seamless, thoughtful care leads to fewer visits, clearer understanding, and the best possible heart health outcomes for every person who walks through our door.

Here, you have my direct cell phone number. You see me—your cardiologist—every single visit. If you’re worried at 8 PM on a Saturday, you text or call me. That’s not concierge medicine. That’s simply keeping a promise.

Because your heart deserves nothing less.
