MARQUETTE — UP Health System-Marquette has announced that Mohamad Raad, M.D., has joined its cardiology team. Raad is a cardiac electrophysiologist who specializes in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease and clinical cardiac electrophysiology, providing care for patients with complex heart rhythm disorders.

His areas of expertise include catheter ablation for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, pacemaker and defibrillator implantation and extraction, cardiac resynchronization therapy, stroke prevention for atrial fibrillation and management of complex heart rhythm conditions.

“The most rewarding part of my job is hearing patients tell me they can return to simple things — playing with their kids, exercising or sleeping through the night — without worrying that their heart will suddenly race or pause,” Dr. Raad said. “I also appreciate combining the intellectual challenge of cardiac care with compassionate patient care.”

Raad earned his medical degree with high distinction and a bachelor’s degree in general biology from the American University of Beirut. He is board-certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and clinical cardiac electrophysiology by the American Board of Internal Medicine and brings extensive experience treating patients with advanced arrhythmias.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Raad enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, traveling, hiking, staying active and reading.
