Dr. Curtis, HeartSafe's founder, has been practicing
in the Merrimack Valley area of Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire
for over 15 years. He is a graduate of Tulane University School of Medicine
and performed his graduate training and fellowship at Harvard University
programs at New England Deaconess hospitals. Dr. Curtis is board certified
in cardiology and internal medicine and is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha,
The National Honor Medical Society. Dr. Curtis served as Chief of Medicine
in 1993 and 1994 at Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, MA. On October
25, 1998, Dr. Curtis was designated a Diplomate Certified in the Subspecialty
of Nuclear Cardiology, one of a small number of physicians in the United
States to meet the requirements prescribed by the Certification Board
of Nuclear Cardiology. Dr Curtis is also the first
Nuclear Cardiologist to head a Nuclear laboratory through the coveted
ICANL certification process. His Nuclear laboratory is the only fully
certified laboratory in Massachusetts and one of 208 in the U.S.
In addition, Dr. Curtis is certified in nuclear cardiology. HeartSafe's nuclear
cardiology lab was one of the first labs in the country to earn the prestigious
national ICANL accreditation. The lab is also the first fully accredited
nuclear cardiology lab in Massachusetts.
Dr. Curtis is the first cardiologist in the Merrimack Valley area to become
certified in Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (CBCCT). He is one of 715 physicians in the U.S. to earn this achievement;
this is a tribute to his commitment to excellence in enhanced patient care using Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.
