Jose Ricardo Po, MD, is a non-invasive cardiologist. He obtained his bachelor's degree in biology from the University of the Philippines in 2002. He graduated cum laude from the University of Santo Tomas - Faculty of Medicine and Surgery in Manila, Philippines in 2006. After earning his medical degree he completed a one-year internship at the University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital. He completed his internal medicine residency at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center in 2012 in New York and later on completed his cardiology fellowship at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh in 2017. Aside from training in clinical cardiology, Dr. Po also completed an advanced cardiac imaging fellowship at Mount Sinai St. Luke's Hospital and is trained in multiple cardiac imaging modalities which include echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and cardiac CT/MRI.
