Hassan Makki, DO, FACC
Dr. Hassan Makki came to the United States with his family as a child and grew up in Michigan. He graduated with a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He did research in blood coagulation before completing coursework in the Masters of Public Health at the University of Michigan. He then graduated with Honors from A.T. Still University – Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (ATSU-KCOM) in Kirksville, Missouri, in 2004. Dr. Makki completed his residency in Internal Medicine and his fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine at Garden City Hospital in Garden City, Michigan, in 2010. Dr. Makki practiced General Cardiology for several years before completing his Interventional Fellowship in Macomb, Michigan, in 2016. Dr. Makki founded the Heart and Wellness Center in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2023. His goal is not merely to extend the lifespan of his patients but also to improve and increase their health span. Dr. Makki is board-certified in Cardiovascular Medicine and Interventional Cardiology by the American College of Osteopathic Internists.
Dr. Makki is a strong proponent of preventative medicine. After over two decades of education, training, and practice, Dr. Makki believes that the secrets to great health and vitality are simple: regular exercise, proper nutrition, and the judicious use of well-established medical therapies. Dr. Makki believes that our current healthcare system incentivizes people, doctors, and hospitals to keep people in a perpetual state of disease by focusing most of our efforts and resources after disease has set in. Billions of healthcare dollars are used to “save people’s” lives by performing expensive procedures and utilizing overpriced medications, only to return them to the same state of health where these therapies found them. This insanity is akin to catching someone as they fall off the cliff and putting them right back on that ledge. His Heart and Wellness Center seeks to reverse this trend and extend the area before the patient reaches the cliff.
Dr. Makki is the proud father of a 14-year-old son, Samer, who enjoys jujitsu and playing basketball. He enjoys traveling, cooking, working out, and connecting with people from all walks of life.
Dr. Makki discloses he has no relevant financial relationships with any organization producing, marketing, reselling, or distributing healthcare goods or services consumed by or used on patients relative to the content of this presentation
