About the Doctor

Dr. Michael W. Gen is one of the Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads region’s most comprehensively trained and experienced cardiologists, bringing a rare depth of subspecialty expertise to his practice at Cardiovascular Consultants of Fresno. He completed his medical education at St. George’s University School of Medicine before embarking on an extensive and rigorous postgraduate training pathway that spanned multiple prestigious institutions across the country. He completed his initial internal medicine residency at Albany Med Health System from 1997 to 1999, followed by a second internal medicine residency at the University of Colorado from 1999 to 2000, reflecting his commitment to building the strongest possible clinical foundation before advancing to cardiovascular subspecialty training. He then completed a three-year cardiovascular disease fellowship at the University of Colorado from 2000 to 2003, followed by an interventional cardiology fellowship at Rhode Island Hospital/Brown University Health from 2003 to 2004 — giving him one of the most thorough and multi-institutional training backgrounds among cardiologists in his area.

Dr. Gen’s four subspecialty qualifications in heart failure and transplantation, interventional cardiology, nuclear cardiology, and peripheral endovascular interventional cardiology place him among a select group of cardiologists capable of managing the full spectrum of complex cardiovascular disease — from advanced heart failure and structural interventions to peripheral vascular disease and nuclear imaging. He is affiliated with four hospitals, two of which carry U.S. News Best Hospital recognition and high-performing designations across multiple cardiac care categories. His practice group at Cardiovascular Consultants of Fresno includes additional highly rated cardiologists, ensuring patients benefit from a rich collaborative clinical environment. With 190 patient reviews and a strong 4-star overall rating, Dr. Gen is recognized for his ability to answer questions clearly and provide well-explained care instructions. He holds active medical licenses in Virginia, North Carolina, and California, accepts Medicaid, and is welcoming new patients.
