Advocare Welcomes Princeton Cardiometabolic Health

04/01/2024 - Advocare, a physician-owned multispecialty medical group with over 730 providers, continues to grow its footprint in New Jersey by welcoming Princeton Cardiometabolic Health led by Dr. Taher Modarressi.

Dr. Modarressi is a cardiometabolic specialist board-certified in clinical lipidology, obesity medicine, endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, and internal medicine.
He is particularly passionate about his work as a lipidologist, where he evaluates and treats patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and elevated lipoprotein(a), as well as high triglycerides and high cholesterol. He works closely with area cardiologists and primary care physicians in medication optimization and residual risk reduction strategies for patients after a heart attack or those with high calcium scores.

Beyond his lipidology expertise, Dr. Modarressi's clinical interests lie in cardiometabolic health, particularly as it applies to prevention and novel therapeutics in lipids, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. The clinic's philosophy emphasizes addressing the fundamental causes of chronic conditions, and customizing prevention and treatment plans to each patient's unique needs, all aimed at achieving transformative health outcomes, enhancing overall well-being, and enriching the quality of life.

Dr. Modarressi completed his undergraduate studies in molecular biology at Princeton University and earned his medical degree with Alpha Omega Alpha honors from New York University School of Medicine. His postgraduate training included a residency in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital-Harvard Medical School followed by a fellowship in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism at the University of Pennsylvania.

“As we welcome Dr. Modarressi to Advocare, we are thrilled to expand our spectrum of specialized care to meet the growing demands of our community,” said Howard Orel, MD, Advocare's President & Chief Executive Officer. “With his expertise in cardiometabolic health, Dr. Modarressi enhances our capacity to provide comprehensive and tailored healthcare solutions.”
