Dr. Ababneh will practice as an interventional cardiologist located at the Cotton O’Neil Heart Center, 929 S.W. Mulvane St., in Topeka. To schedule an appointment with him, call (785) 270-4100.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, accounting for nearly one in every four deaths. While those statistics may be alarming, that is one of the key reasons that Dr. Ababneh entered cardiology.
“Heart disease can be scary,” Ababneh said. “For me, it is rewarding to be able to help patients and see the relief on their faces after they have been struggling with heart conditions.”
Dr. Ababneh received his medical degree at the Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan, in 2007. He completed his internal medicine residency at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas, in 2012, and his atherosclerosis and lipids fellowship at the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, in 2013. He completed his adult cardiovascular fellowship at the Louisiana State University Health Science Center, New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2016, and his interventional cardiology fellowship at the LSU Health Science Center, in 2017.
