Dr. Michael Harding, MD, brings more than 25 years of experience to CVRs Albuquerque clinic. He graduated from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, where he also completed his Residency in Internal Medicine. Dr. Harding then went to Duke University for a Fellowship in Cardiology. From Duke, Dr. Harding moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for an Interventional Fellowship at Vancouver General Hospital. In Canada, he became an expert in coronary stents two years before the FDA released the device in the United States. Dr. Harding has degrees in both Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from Columbia University and Sewanee: The University of the South. Dr. Harding is board-certified in Vascular Medicine, Cardiology, and Internal Medicine. In 1992, Dr. Harding brought his specialized knowledge of stents (also known as PTCA) to New Mexico. Since then, he has participated in numerous technical and academic advances. He never stopped searching for new ways to care for his patients. Identifying a void in caring for patients with vascular problems outside of the heart, he expanded his interests to vascular ultrasound and vascular medicine, including not only peripheral artery disease, but also the many forms of vasculitis, thrombophilias, and, of course, complex venous disease. In addition to his expertise in cardiovascular medicine, Dr. Harding has been cited for his compassionate manner. In 2017 and 2018, more than 400 patients gave him 5-star ratings for his care. Patient reviews highlighted his kindness, compassion, and medical competency. Bringing a holistic approach to treatment, Dr. Harding starts each patient relationship by understanding the patients background, stresses, and interests. He believes this is essential to effectively diagnose and treat each patient. The most important part of my job is first getting to know the patient as a whole person, not just the medical concern that prompted them to seek help, Dr. Harding says.
