About The Provider

Philosophy of Care
Dr. Aziz Alkatib is a gentle and compassionate physician who believes that patients need to be heard. He understands the fear and anxiety associated with having cardiac disease and seeks to put patients at ease. He uses a methodical but practical approach to tackling patients’ problems and follows through with ample communication and reassurance. Dr. Alkatib is against over-medicating and does not simply treat symptoms while ignoring the underlying illness. He is highly skilled and experienced in performing cardiac procedures and serves the teaching faculty to train future physicians. He makes himself available and encourages patients to reach out when they have health concerns and need answers.

He then went on to finish his Cardiology fellowship at Rutgers RWJ University in New Jersey. He returned to Michigan to complete his Interventional Cardiology fellowship and start practicing at the Detroit Medical Center. There, he established himself as a highly-regarded cardiovascular specialist and served as the Medical Director of the Cardiac ICU and core faculty member of the Interventional Cardiology training program.
