Biography

Brent DeManby is a physician assistant who cares for adults with heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease, aortopathy and heart failure. 

He helps with heart surgeries as well as with evaluating and treating patients before and after surgery.

He says of his approach to patient care:  

“I prioritize open communication with my patients, actively listening to their concerns and preferences that so I can better understand what it is that they are experiencing. 

“I strive to take the time needed to fully explain the issue at hand and how we’re going to address it, answering any and all questions patients might have in the effort to bring some relief to the anxiety we all face when discussing our health issues. Providing that type of patient-provider relationship is what I love most about my job.”
