Meet our new provider, Prince Otchere, MD. Dr. Otchere is the director of our new cardio-oncology program and an assistant professor of cardiology. Born and raised in Ghana, Dr. Prince Otchere moved to Houston, Texas for tertiary education. His awareness of high blood pressure in his family and the discovery that some cardiovascular diseases are more prevalent in certain ethnic minorities inspired his decision to pursue a degree in Molecular Genetic Technology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, School of Health Professions in Houston. He completed his medical training at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, in Loma Linda, California. Subsequently, he completed his internal medicine residency, cardiology fellowship and a sub-specialization in cardio-oncology at Kettering Medical Center in Ohio. Dr. Otchere is board-certified in cardio-oncology, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and internal medicine

Dr. Otchere’s research interests include developing a cardiac risk prediction tool to help oncologists anticipate patients who are most at risk of developing cardiotoxicity. He is currently enrolled at Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health where is working on an MPH in Epidemiology.

Dr. Otchere is committed to providing compassionate cardiovascular care to cancer patients who are about to undergo cardiotoxic therapy with radiation and chemotherapy. His services help mitigate heart failure and valve disease, and may also be beneficial to pediatric cancer patients at high risk of coronary disease caused by radiation.
