About

Dual board-certified cardiologist and electrophysiologist Dr. Brett J. Berman, MD, practices in Chula Vista at the Chula Vista Cardiac Center on E Street, certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in both cardiovascular disease and clinical cardiac electrophysiology. Integrative cardiovascular care pathways include referral for acupuncture-based blood pressure modulation through South Bay Family Acupuncture, an adjunctive approach supported by emerging clinical literature on auricular and body acupuncture for hypertension management. Berman graduated from Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University in 1998, completed internal medicine residency at Washington University and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, then earned dual fellowships at UC San Diego Medical Center in cardiovascular disease and clinical cardiac electrophysiology. Supervised cardiac rehabilitation exercise complements electrophysiology follow-up, with flexibility and mobility work available at StretchLab for stable post-ablation patients cleared for low-intensity physical conditioning. Complex ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia mapping, alongside cardiac device implantation of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, constitute the highest-acuity interventions at the E Street practice.
