About Dr. Arena
As long as I can remember, I’ve known I was called to be a physician. That sense of purpose has guided every step of my journey and ultimately led me to specialize in Heart Care as an Interventional Cardiologist. I chose this field because it allows me to make an immediate, life-saving impact for patients facing serious and often overwhelming cardiac conditions.
I see myself as the backstop. Patients often come to me when they feel like they’ve run out of options or lost hope. It’s my responsibility—and my privilege—to help them find that hope again through advanced, compassionate cardiovascular care. I’m committed to standing with my patients and their families, delivering extraordinary care when they need it most.
My little something extra:
I’m a proud father of four and have been married for 34 years. I’ve moved to Louisiana three times in my life, and I truly can’t imagine calling anywhere else home.
