About Me
As an adult cardiac surgeon, I treat a wide range of conditions including coronary artery disease, valve disease, aortic disease, cardiomyopathy and heart aneurysms. I perform all types of cardiac operations, including valve repair or replacement, bypass surgery, heart transplant, ventricular assist device implantation and aortic reconstructions. When possible, I employ minimally invasive approaches to facilitate my patients’ recovery, and also use transcatheter approaches when appropriate. I believe in providing patients with individualized care, tailored specifically to their unique needs and goals, and encourage my patients to actively involve themselves in their care to improve their health and well-being.
My favorite part about working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is the distinguishing character of our faculty and staff. I am proud to work with such a cooperative and resourceful group of individuals who are committed to our patients and families.
In my free time I enjoy photography and spending time with my family.

Attentive knowledgeable
Care Provider was excellent. Would highly recommend. Made me feel comfortable about the surgery I received.
Good and to the point
He was one of the best I have ever encountered. Remember, this was the first time I've ever met him. He explained my diagnosis in a way to me that was really concise and clear.
Very professional
I really liked him. He was honest with me about my heart condition.
Dr. Mokadam was very caring in his rapport as we asked questions. (Interested/listened.)
All good & excellent.
Surgeon sat and explained possible complications. Helped us select a date when he would be available to provide post op care over the holidays.
Very nicer man and exceptional surgeon. He explained everything he was going to be doing.
All good!
This was my first visit with Dr. Mokadam as I was referred to him by Dr. Jarrod Betz. Dr. Mokadam was very knowledgeable, and took as long as I needed to talk about my heart condition and the options for replacing my congenitally defected heart valve. I am very happy to be a patient in his care.
Very friendly and knowledgeable. Easy to talk to.
