Dr. André Désiré is a board certified general and interventional cardiologist with United Regional Physician Group.
Dr. Désiré completed his bachelor’s degree at Syracuse University in Syracuse, NY, and his Doctor of Medicine from the State University of New York. He completed his internal medicine residency at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, CA, followed by a cardiology fellowship at the University of California in Los Angeles. He then pursued advanced training in interventional cardiology at Good Samaritan Hospital/USC in Los Angeles, CA, where he developed extensive experience in complex cardiovascular procedures.
From an early age, Dr. Désiré gravitated toward the sciences, finding a natural connection to math and biology that ultimately guided him toward a career in medicine. During his training, he discovered a passion for cardiology appreciating its problem solving nature and the opportunity to make meaningful, immediate improvements in a patient’s life. Interventional cardiology resonated with him for its innovation and the real time impact of its procedures.
Dr. Désiré is passionate about providing timely, effective care for patients experiencing acute and complex cardiovascular conditions. He is especially gratified by the rapid relief patients often experience following vascular interventions, whether restoring blood flow during an acute myocardial infarction or treating limb threatening ischemia. He is known for his technical precision, clear communication, and a calm, reassuring presence with every patient he serves. He values evidence based care and remains energized by the continual technological advances that drive the field forward.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Désiré prioritizes staying active and enjoys regular exercise. He has been married for many years and is the proud father of two daughters one a maternal fetal medicine physician and the other an attorney. Having lived in many large metropolitan areas, he especially appreciates the warmth, friendliness, and ease of life in Wichita Falls — where getting from point A to point B never involves big city traffic.
