About the Doctor

Dr. David G. Paris is one of Broward County’s most distinguished and trusted cardiologists — a physician whose more than three decades of cardiovascular experience, advanced fellowship training in cardiovascular disease, unique subspecialty expertise in adult congenital heart disease, prolific publication record, and extraordinary patient satisfaction achievements establish him as a premier cardiac specialist for patients throughout the greater Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, and Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area. He earned his medical degree from Universidad Central del Este Facultad de Medicina — an internationally recognized Caribbean medical institution with a strong tradition of producing clinically excellent physicians who pursue advanced postgraduate training in the United States — and completed his internal medicine residency at Rutgers Health/Monmouth Medical Center from 1989 to 1992, building a comprehensive foundation in adult internal medicine at a respected New Jersey academic medical center. He then secured a competitive cardiovascular disease fellowship at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University — a major academic medical center in Brooklyn, New York — from 1992 to 1995, receiving advanced subspecialty training in the diagnosis and management of the full spectrum of cardiovascular conditions.

What particularly distinguishes Dr. Paris’s profile within the broader cardiology community is his subspecialty in Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) — a uniquely specialized and critically important area of cardiology focused on the care of adults who were born with structural heart defects and who continue to require expert cardiac monitoring and management throughout their lives. As advances in pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery have dramatically improved the survival of children born with congenital heart defects, the population of adults living with these conditions has grown substantially — creating a significant and growing demand for cardiologists with the specific knowledge and expertise to manage these complex patients as they age. Dr. Paris’s ACHD subspecialty positions him as an especially valuable resource for this underserved patient population in the Broward County and South Florida region.

Dr. Paris practices at North Broward Hospital District in Deerfield Beach, affiliated with Broward Health North — a respected community hospital serving the northern Broward County region. His documented areas of highest clinical expertise — chronic hypertension, high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, and heart valve disorders — all managed at volumes that exceed Florida state averages — reflect the depth and breadth of his general cardiology experience, while his ACHD subspecialty adds a rare and specialized dimension that few community cardiologists in South Florida can offer.

His patient satisfaction record is exceptional. With a perfect 5 out of 5 overall rating based on 122 total reviews — one of the highest review volumes among cardiologists in the Broward County region — Dr. Paris has earned three patient experience awards: Patients’ Top Choice, Makes Time for Patients, and Clearly Explains. His perfect score for clarity of instructions and very positive scores for thoroughness and ability to answer questions reflect a cardiologist who takes genuine time with each patient, ensures complete understanding of complex cardiac information, and delivers care with the attentiveness and personal investment that patients in a cardiologist’s office deeply need and value. His scholarly publication record and multiple professional awards and honors further affirm his standing as a physician of distinction within the cardiovascular medicine community. He holds an active Florida State Medical License through 2028.

Services Offered

Dr. Paris’s cardiology practice at North Broward Hospital District in Deerfield Beach, Florida offers a comprehensive and patient-centered range of cardiovascular services — spanning general cardiology evaluation and chronic disease management through the specialized care of adults living with congenital heart conditions. His practice serves patients across a broad spectrum of cardiovascular health needs, from routine preventive cardiac screenings and risk factor management through the long-term monitoring and management of established structural, ischemic, and electrophysiological heart disease.

General cardiology and cardiovascular risk management form the clinical foundation of Dr. Paris’s everyday practice. For patients with hypertension, coronary artery disease, high cholesterol, and heart valve disorders — all conditions he manages at high volumes relative to the Florida state average — he provides thorough diagnostic evaluation, individualized medical management, and proactive long-term cardiovascular risk reduction strategies. His approach combines evidence-based pharmacological management with lifestyle counseling, regular cardiac monitoring, and careful medication optimization to achieve the best possible cardiovascular outcomes for each patient over time. His perfect patient score for clarity of instructions is particularly valuable in this context, as patients managing chronic cardiac conditions depend on clear, actionable guidance to successfully implement and sustain the lifestyle and medication changes that protect their long-term heart health.

Adult congenital heart disease management is the defining specialty service that distinguishes Dr. Paris from most community cardiologists in South Florida. Adults born with congenital heart defects — including atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, bicuspid aortic valves, Tetralogy of Fallot, and other structural abnormalities — require lifelong specialist cardiac monitoring and management to detect and address the evolving complications that commonly arise as these conditions progress with age. Dr. Paris’s ACHD subspecialty training equips him to provide this specialized, longitudinal cardiac care — monitoring structural changes over time, adjusting medical therapy as cardiac function evolves, and coordinating with interventional and surgical teams when procedural intervention becomes necessary.

For patients requiring diagnostic cardiac imaging, Dr. Paris provides echocardiographic evaluation, stress testing, Holter monitoring, and nuclear imaging coordination — utilizing the full range of non-invasive cardiac diagnostic tools to build a comprehensive, accurate picture of each patient’s cardiovascular anatomy and function. His affiliation with Broward Health North ensures that patients who require hospital-level cardiac care — including inpatient evaluation, cardioversion, or monitoring — receive seamless access to a trusted hospital environment staffed by experienced cardiovascular nurses and support teams.
