Southern Heart Group is proud to announce the addition of Dr. George-LeBert to our cardiovascular team!
The expansion of our cardiovascular team reflects Southern Heart Group’s ongoing dedication to fully serve the communities of Northeast Florida. We are proud to introduce our newest associate, Dr. George G. Le-Bert.
A native and lifelong Floridian, Dr. Le-Bert was born and raised in Miami and completed his undergraduate degree in Tallahassee at Florida State University. From there, Dr. Le-Bert went on to earn his DO at Nova Southeastern University where the comprehensive education centers around the idea that a patient is much more than a presenting symptom; each person is a complete human being to be evaluated and treated as an individual. The osteopathic model of medicine is comprehensive and holistic and demands that its practitioners possess both humanitarian and intellectual qualities. The program encourages a broad educational background in the sciences as well as the humanities.
After completing his DO, Dr. Le-Bert returned to Miami to perform an Internal Medicine residency at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, consistently ranked among the top hospitals in the United States. There, Dr. Le-Bert was able to train with top experts in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of adult diseases. Choosing to remain at Mount Sinai to complete his cardiology fellowship allowed Dr. Le-Bert to train at the Mount Sinai Heart Institute, recognized as high performing in cardiology and heart surgery. The Mount Sinai Heart Institute, a partnership with New York’s prestigious Columbia University, has the best outcomes and survival rates in the state of Florida.
During his internship and fellowship, Dr. Le-Bert was chosen as Intern of the Year and Chief Cardiology Fellow, a significant achievement demonstrating his level of knowledge and dedication to clinical excellence. His high-energy approach to patient care and his compassionate, friendly demeanor make him a favorite of patients and colleagues alike.
Dr. Le-Bert is newly-wed to his longtime sweetheart, Carolina, a marine mammal veterinarian and together they reside in Fernandina Beach. Dr. Le-Bert is accepting new patients at our Fernandina Beach location where he will practice full time and looks forward to caring for the people of Nassau’s communities.
