“We are honored to welcome Dr. Marcus Brown and Dr. Mohammed Kooshkabadi to our growing practice. These two highly-trained physicians collectively bring with them years of experience in cardiac health care and complement the board-certified team of cardiologists we have in place to offer patients,” said Michael Balk, M.D., FACC. “Both doctors will be invaluable to our team and allow our practice to broaden the procedures and services offered by Northside Cardiology, P.C., for our patients.”
Both cardiologists joining Northside Cardiology, P.C. completed their medical training in the Atlanta area and fellowships and residency at nationally esteemed hospitals in the field of cardiovascular medicine including Johns Hopkins and Emory University Hospital.

Dr. Mohammed Kooshkabadi received his M.D. from the Emory University School of Medicine, completed an internal medicine internship and residency at Columbia University Medical Center, a clinical cardiology fellowship at Emory University Hospital and a clinical electrophysiology fellowship at Emory. A board certified physician in internal medicine and cardiovascular medicine, Dr. Kooshkabadi is board eligible for cardiac electrophysiology, the cardiology specialty that diagnoses and treats heart arrhythmias.
