Dr. Gregory Egnaczyk

Dr. Egnaczyk grew up in Connecticut as the oldest of four children. At Yale University, he earned a B.S. in
chemical engineering. After college he completed the Physician Scientist Training Program at the
University of Cincinnati, earning both an MD and PhD in seven years. His PhD in Pharmacology & Cell
Biophysics focused on the protein chemistry involved in the formation of plaques that result in Alzheimer's
disease.

After completing his medical degree he moved to Boston, MA to train in internal medicine at the
Massachusetts General Hospital. Next stop was Duke University, where he completed general cardiology
fellowship. At Duke, he worked as a post-doc in a Howard Hughes Medical Institute-sponsored laboratory
studying cardiac regeneration in the zebrafish. Ultimately, he figured out that his passion lay in clinical
medicine as opposed to basic science research. He completed training in advanced heart failure, which
includes heart transplant and mechanical heart pumps.

In 2011, Dr. Egnaczyk moved back to Cincinnati to help establish a program in mechanical circulatory
device support, including left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), for patients with advanced heart failure at
The Christ Hospital. He states "it is remarkable to witness how LVADs can not just save lives, but restore
a life back to these patients filled with activity and vigor."

Many patients with heart disease, in particular heart failure, resign themselves to quality of life that does
not satisfy them. Dr. Egnaczyk says this need not be so, "I often tell my patients to get out and do the
things you enjoy. If symptoms limit you, let me know." There are a wide variety of treatment strategies in
cardiology including medicines, devices, and surgeries that can enable patients to do more and feel
better. His commitment to family-patient centered care was recognized when he received the Larry Otto
Award at The Christ Hospital in 2012.

Dr. Egnaczyk and his wife, Heather, have three young children. Heather, an early childhood teacher, and
also a triathlete when time allows, currently stays home to raise the children. When Dr. Egnaczyk is at
home, he can be found gardening, running, shooting hoops and being surrounded by his family.

Dr. Dan Pelchovitz

Dr. Pelchovitz specializes in cardiac electrophysiology and sees patients in the office and performs
procedures to treat many different types of arrhythmias, including catheter ablation and
pacemaker/defibrillator implant procedures.

Dr. Pelchovitz is a Cincinnati native and graduate of Sycamore High School. He received a bachelor’s
degree in biochemistry in the honors program at the University of Michigan. He then received his medical
degree at the University of Pennsylvania where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor
Society. He completed a residency in internal medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital and
fellowships in cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology at Northwestern University. During this time he
won the prestigious American Heart Association Laennec Young Clinician Award and was a finalist for the
American College of Cardiology Young Investigator Award. He has authored several peer reviewed
research publications. Dr. Pelchovitz was the first in the United States to implant the Boston Scientific
Resonate ICD.

He enjoys caring for patients of all ages and was drawn to the electrophysiology field due to the treatment
opportunities available to eliminate many heart rhythm issues that have plagued people for many years.
Dr. Pelchovitz feels very fortunate to bring advanced electrophysiology care back to his hometown. In his
free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and kids, listening to music, and playing ice hockey.

Dr. Tim Raymond

Dr. Raymond is an invasive cardiologist specializing in the care of patients with advanced heart failure
and cardiogenic shock. He focuses on patients with end-stage heart failure who may ultimately require
advanced heart failure therapy such as left ventricular assist device or heart transplant.

He was born and raised in Cleveland, OH. He spent 8 years living in and around Chicago, IL where he
completed a B.S. in biology at Wheaton College followed by his medical degree from The Chicago
College of Osteopathic Medicine of Midwestern University. He then returned home to complete his
residency at the Cleveland Clinic and remained on as a staff physician as a hospitalist for an additional
year. He then completed his general cardiology fellowship in Detroit, MI and went back to Cleveland Clinic
to complete his final year of training in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology.

He enjoys participating in medical missions work in Honduras with the Salvation Army and several
members of his family who are also in the medical field. He enjoys playing soccer and met his wife, Trisha
on a coed soccer team during his time in Chicago. They have 3 children (Colt, Saige and Owen).
 Dr. Dan Beyerbach

Dr. Beyerbach came to Cincinnati from the Florida Electrophysiology Associates in Atlantis, FL. His
education in electrical engineering and signal processing was fitting preparation for a medical career in
electrophysiology. He has received numerous awards academic awards and honors in both technical and
medical areas of study. Dr. Beyerbach brings extensive knowledge of clinical cardiac electrophysiology
with a specialty focus in catheter ablation treatment of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia (VT).

Dr. Beyerbach served as Clinical Assistant Professor of Biomedical Science at Florida Atlantic University
and Chairman of the JFK Hospital Research Committee. As a researcher, he has developed an innovative
method of endovascular tissue characterization using spectral analysis of intravascular ultrasound
reflected wave data. He also designed and fabricated tissue echo chamber for in-vitro data collection.

Dr. Beyerbach is extensively published in modern electrophysiology literature and has been invited to
present at international health conferences.
 Dr. Gregory Clarke

Dr. Clarke specializes in cardiac imaging and clinical cardiology. He is board certified in cardiovascular
diseases, as well as echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and cardiac CT.

He earned an undergraduate degree in kinesiological sciences and a master's degree in exercise

physiology before attending medical school at Indiana University School of Medicine.

As a graduate student with background in anatomy, physiology and the mechanics of body movement, Dr.
Clarke worked at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for several summers. He helped
evaluate physiological parameters of some of the world's top athletes, including the record-breaking
marathon runner Alberto Salazar, Olympic gold medalist speed skater Eric Heiden and several U.S.
weight-lifting teams.

After he completed a fellowship in cardiology at Indiana University School of Medicine, Dr. Clarke was on
the cardiology faculty for three years at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. He also served
seven years in the military as a Captain in the Indiana Army National Guard. He came to the Ohio Heart
and Vascular Center in 1995.

Dr. Clarke personally enjoys fitness and finds stress relief through exercise. He has completed marathons
and has focused on competing in triathlons for the past few years. Dr. Clarke is also actively involved with
American Heart Association and is on the Board of Directors of the American Diabetes Association,
Cincinnati Chapter. Dr. Clarke has a faculty teaching appointment with the University of Cincinnati College
of Medicine where he teaches cardiac imaging to cardiology fellows. Dr. Clarke finds his medical career
very gratifying, "I like meeting and getting to know my patients. It is personally satisfying to help them
improve their health, which in turn makes a big impact on their lives."

Dr. Clarke is one of only a few cardiologists in the Cincinnati area board certified in cardiac CT. Dr. Clarke
and several other Ohio Heart cardiologists teach a course on cardiac CT angiography which is
consistently rated one of the best in the country. This course is attended by cardiologists from around the
world.
