Dr. Aswini Kumar, a board-certified cardiologist, recently joined Mercy Clinic Cardiology, 7001 Rogers Ave., Suite 401A, in Fort Smith.

A passion for medicine runs deep in Kumars family.

"I grew up in a family of doctors, said Kumar. My father and uncles are compassionate physicians. I was always determined to follow in their footsteps."

As a cardiologist, she involves patients in every step of their medical journey and encourages them to make lifestyle changes to improve their health.

I believe in personalized medicine, she adds. I try to get to know my patients as best as I can so I can provide the individualized care that will help them the most.
