With more than 30 years of experience, Dr. Philip Romm is a highly respected Interventional Cardiologist known for his expertise in diagnosing and treating complex cardiovascular conditions. Throughout his distinguished career, he has performed thousands of life-saving procedures, helping patients improve their heart health and regain quality of life.
Dr. Romm earned his medical degree from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, one of the nation’s top medical institutions.

He holds board certifications in Internal Medicine, Adult Cardiovascular Disease, and Interventional Cardiology, demonstrating his commitment to the highest standards of clinical excellence.
As a leading specialist in Interventional Cardiology, Dr. Romm is highly skilled in performing diagnostic cardiac catheterization, a critical procedure used to identify blockages in the coronary arteries that can lead to chest pain, heart attacks, and other life-threatening conditions. He is particularly known for performing coronary angioplasty and stenting, including complex and high-risk procedures that involve advanced techniques to open chronic total occlusions (CTOs) — complete blockages in the coronary arteries that many patients are told are untreatable. Dr. Romm’s expertise offers new hope to patients who may have otherwise been left with medication as their only option.
In addition to coronary interventions, Dr. Romm is skilled in the implantation of left atrial appendage occlusion devices, such as Amulet and Watchman, which significantly reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who cannot safely take blood thinners due to bleeding risks. He also performs patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure and atrial septal defect (ASD) closure to prevent strokes and other complications related to structural heart abnormalities.
Dr. Romm’s expertise extends beyond coronary interventions. He is also experienced in diagnosing and treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD), performing diagnostic angiograms, peripheral angioplasty, and stenting to improve blood flow and relieve symptoms in patients with narrowed or blocked arteries in their limbs. His comprehensive approach to cardiovascular care ensures that patients receive individualized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs.
In addition to his interventional work, Dr. Romm maintains an active general cardiology practice, providing long-term care for patients with a range of heart conditions. He has a specific interest in managing elevated cholesterol and lipid levels, working closely with patients to reduce their risk of heart disease through lifestyle changes and evidence-based treatments.
Dr. Romm is passionate about delivering patient-centered care and takes the time to ensure his patients fully understand their diagnosis and treatment options. His approach focuses on empowering patients to make informed decisions about their heart health.
He consults with patients at CardioVascular Group’s offices in Johns Creek, Lawrenceville, and Duluth, where he is known for his compassionate, thorough care. He is also affiliated with Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Lawrenceville and Northside Hospital Duluth, where he performs both routine and complex procedures.
Dr. Romm is highly respected among his peers for his extensive experience, technical expertise, and dedication to advancing cardiovascular care. When he is not seeing patients, he stays up to date on the latest advancements in interventional cardiology to ensure his patients have access to the most innovative and effective treatments available.
