About the Provider
Dr. Greg Robertson is chief of cardiology at the Emory Johns Creek Hospital. He is the medical director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory and interventional program and co-director of endovascular surgery.
He is board certified in Vascular Medicine, Endovascular Medicine, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiovascular Medicine, Nuclear Cardiology and Echocardiography. He is an associate professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine.
Dr. Robertson’s most recent research focuses on disruptive technologies to open chronic total occlusions (CTO) in the heart and leg arteries. He has been passionate about cardiovascular research since 8th grade when his science fair project on the first human heart transplant won first place in the county American Heart Association competition.
His work has been international. In the early 1980s he went to Brighton, England to research the first AED in Europe’s first paramedic program. He spent 16 years in the San Francisco Bay Area with medical device inventor Dr. John Simpson who invented the first atherectomy procedure and the first percutaneous vascular closure device. Atherectomy is the procedure which allows the physician to remove plaque in blocked arteries without major surgery. His newest project is with Dr. Simpson’s work to develop a device to open CTOs, guided by laser directed imaging.
Before joining Emory, he spent 6 months training with Professor Horst Sievert at the Cardiovasculares Centrum in Germany in structural heart and advanced endovascular minimally invasive procedures. The center is world renowned in PFO/ASD(patent foramen ovale/atrial septal defect) minimally-invasive closure and carotid stenting.
Dr. Robertson’s clinical expertise has focused on preventative care and using minimally-invasive vascular and cardiac treatment. His vascular programs at Emory Johns Creek Hospital include carotid artery stenting, percutaneous repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, limb preservation by opening CTO arteries and the pulmonary embolus response team (PERT) using advanced interventions. His cardiac programs include the PCI (stenting) program for emergency heart attack patients, elective PCI and the PFO/ASD closure programs. At Emory Midtown University Hospital and Emory University Hospital, he is an expert in complex CTO procedures.

In the past Dr. Robertson was very informative about anything he noticed on the EKG or other lab results. This visit was very short with a lack of information about my condition compared to a year ago. In the past Dr. Robertson has always been open about what he has observed.

The doctor had already decided that he'll refer me to congenital clinic at Emory and he didn't discuss anything during this visit except referring me to congenital clinic. In this case, they could've done that earlier and saved me a visit and its cost.
