James P Stewart, MD

Dr. Stewart is a structural and interventional cardiologist specializing in the minimally invasive treatment of valve disease. A native Atlantan, Dr. Stewart was actually born at Piedmont Hospital, as were all four of his children. After completing his education at Harvard, Yale, and Emory including cardiology, interventional cardiology, and structural cardiology fellowships at Emory, he stayed on as faculty and helped found and lead the Structural Heart program at Emory St. Joseph’s Hospital from 2013 - 2020. He then was recruited to co-direct and lead the newest open heart surgery and structural heart program in the state at Hamilton Medical Center in Dalton, GA.

He and his wife, Amy, and their four kids are excited to be back in Atlanta full time, and thrilled to be working with the superlative team at the Marcus Heart Valve Center and Piedmont Heart Institute. 

In his spare time, Dr. Stewart is an avid tennis player, a sometimes runner, a die-hard Atlanta Braves fan, and a budding tree-farmer and ecologist while restoring a longleaf pine forest in South Georgia.
