Double Board-Certified Cardiologist and Internist Providing Comprehensive, Concierge Cardiovascular Care
Dr. Omeed Warej is a double board-certified physician specializing in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease, with more than a decade of clinical experience and advanced training at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. At California Heart & Health in Beverly Hills, he integrates cardiovascular medicine, comprehensive internal medicine, preventive care, and health optimization into a personalized concierge model.
He understands that the heart can provide important insight into a patient's overall health. Rather than viewing cardiovascular disease, metabolic health, preventive care, and longevity as separate areas of medicine, Dr. Warej considers how they interact and how that connection can inform more personalized care.
Whether he is evaluating a cardiovascular concern, assessing long-term risk, or helping a patient optimize health before disease develops, Dr. Warej combines detailed medical evaluation with a focus on continuity, prevention, and individualized decision-making.
Dr. Warej's Education and Medical Training
Dr. Warej's academic and clinical training spans molecular and cellular biology, internal medicine, and advanced cardiovascular medicine.
University of California, Berkeley
Dr. Warej earned his undergraduate degree in Molecular & Cell Biology from the University of California, Berkeley, graduating summa cum laude in 2007. His academic interests extended into biomedical research, and following graduation, he spent an additional year conducting research at Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
His early research included work involving emerging nanotechnology and its potential effects on human health. He contributed to peer-reviewed research examining the biological effects of nanoparticles and other molecular mechanisms, providing an early foundation in translational biomedical science.
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Dr. Warej went on to earn his Doctor of Medicine from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, graduating in 2012. Public physician records identify UCLA as his medical school and Cedars-Sinai as the site of his internal medicine residency.
His interest in cardiology developed during medical school and continued into his clinical and research training. Cedars-Sinai's own profile of his academic trajectory describes his move to Los Angeles for UCLA medical school and his growing focus on cardiovascular research.
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Dr. Warej completed his Internal Medicine residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center from 2012 to 2015 and subsequently completed cardiovascular fellowship training through the Cedars-Sinai Department of Cardiology.
The Cedars-Sinai cardiovascular fellowship is designed to provide comprehensive training across cardiovascular disease, including exposure to specialized cardiovascular care, contemporary therapeutic approaches, research, and academic medicine.
His time at Cedars-Sinai also included involvement in cardiovascular research with investigators in areas such as coronary vascular dysfunction, heart failure, atherosclerosis, and structural heart disease.
Double Board Certification in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease
Dr. Warej is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in both Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease. This dual certification reflects training that encompasses both comprehensive adult medical care and specialized cardiovascular medicine.
That combination is particularly relevant to a concierge practice built around long-term health. Cardiovascular problems frequently intersect with conditions managed within internal medicine, including:
- Hypertension and high cholesterol
- Diabetes and metabolic health
- Obesity and weight management
- Kidney and endocrine conditions
- Medication management
- Preventive health and risk reduction
- Sleep, exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle factors
Dr. Warej's training allows him to evaluate these issues together rather than considering cardiovascular health in isolation.
A Foundation in Cardiovascular Research
Dr. Warej's career has also included a significant research component. His published work includes cardiovascular studies involving coronary vascular dysfunction, ventricular remodeling, autonomic nervous system physiology, valvular disease, diabetic dyslipidemia, and atherosclerosis.
Among his published research are studies examining:
- Coronary microvascular dysfunction and left ventricular remodeling
- Cardiovascular effects associated with hormone therapy and menopause
- Autonomic nervous system mechanisms in cardiovascular disease
- Aortic and mitral valve pathology
- Diabetic dyslipidemia and dysfunctional HDL
- Inflammation and accelerated atherosclerosis
- Cardiovascular implications of emerging biomedical technologies
His published work has appeared in peer-reviewed medical journals and reflects an academic interest in understanding cardiovascular disease at both the clinical and physiologic levels.
Areas of Cardiovascular Expertise
Dr. Warej's current clinical practice encompasses a broad range of cardiovascular evaluation, prevention, and management.
Preventive Cardiology & Cardiac Risk Assessment
Dr. Warej evaluates cardiovascular risk before disease becomes clinically significant, using medical history, conventional risk factors, advanced biomarkers, cardiovascular testing, and individualized prevention strategies when appropriate. His practice lists cardiac risk assessment and heart disease prevention among his areas of expertise.
Advanced Cardiovascular Testing
Depending on a patient's history and goals, Dr. Warej's practice offers or coordinates a range of cardiovascular testing, including:
- Echocardiography
- Electrocardiography
- Exercise treadmill stress testing
- Coronary calcium scanning
- CT coronary angiography
- Rhythm monitoring
- Other cardiovascular imaging and diagnostic evaluation
Testing is selected according to the clinical question rather than applied as a universal testing package.
Cardiovascular Disease Management
His areas of expertise include conditions such as:
- Arrhythmias
- Valvular heart disease
- Congestive heart failure
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Pericardial disease
- Cardiac sarcoidosis
- Aortic disease
- Diabetic heart disease
- Sports cardiology
His practice also emphasizes primary prevention and ongoing cardiovascular risk management.
Cardiovascular Medicine Through a Longevity Lens
Dr. Warej's clinical philosophy extends beyond treating diagnosed cardiovascular disease. His practice is built on the idea that cardiovascular health is closely linked to long-term healthspan and that earlier risk identification can create more opportunities for prevention.
That philosophy informs services such as cardiovascular longevity assessments, advanced lipid and biomarker analysis, metabolic evaluation, exercise testing, nutrition support, and other personalized health assessments offered through California Heart & Health.
His goal is to establish a more complete understanding of how a patient is doing today while identifying factors that may influence cardiovascular health years into the future.
A Concierge Approach to the Physician-Patient Relationship
The structure of Dr. Warej's practice is designed around a more continuous physician relationship. Rather than limiting care to isolated appointments, the concierge model allows cardiovascular concerns, primary care needs, preventive planning, and long-term health goals to be considered within an ongoing relationship.
Depending on the membership selected, patients may have access to enhanced appointment availability, direct physician communication, longer visits, telemedicine, care coordination, preventive assessments, cardiovascular testing, and broader health optimization services.
This model is particularly suited to patients who want greater continuity with their physician and a more proactive approach to managing both current health concerns and future cardiovascular risk.
Recognition as a Southern California Rising Star
Dr. Warej has been recognized by Super Doctors as a Southern California Rising Star in Cardiology and Internal Medicine from 2022 through 2026. Super Doctors states that its selections are based on peer nominations and independent research, and that physicians cannot pay to be included on its listings.
This recognition adds to a career that combines clinical practice, academic training, cardiovascular research, and a commitment to preventive medicine.
