Jeet Mehta, MD

My name is Jeet, and I am an assistant professor in the University Florida Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. I am board-certified in cardiovascular diseases, interventional cardiology, nuclear cardiology, echocardiology, and internal medicine. I specialize in structural heart disease, including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), mitral transcatheter edge to edge repair (mTEER), left atrial appendage occlusion procedure (LAAO), among other minimally invasive transcatheter therapies. My clinical interests also include complex coronary interventions.

I earned my doctorate in medicine from the University of Missouri Kansas City in a combined BA/MD six-year program, and then I completed a residency in internal medicine/pediatrics at the University of Kansas School of Medicine Wichita. My fellowship in cardiovascular disease and advanced fellowship in interventional and structural cardiology were completed at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine. I spent one year as an instructor of medicine within the division of cardiology while serving as a structural fellow.

I became interested in interventional cardiology because it provides a nonsurgical option to repair damaged vessels and valves using minimally invasive procedures to improve the quality of life for patients who may not be surgical candidates.

Some of the leadership roles I have held include serving as a medical student mentor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City; chief resident for internal medicine and pediatrics, elected by faculty and residents, at the University of Kansas School of Medicine Wichita; and chief fellow in cardiovascular disease fellowship, elected by faculty, at the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine.

In my spare time, I love being outside and participating in nature photography. I am also an automobile enthusiast who enjoys cooking and sampling new cuisines.
