Joanna E. Molina Razavi, MD

Dr. Joanna Molina Razavi is a cardiac electrophysiologist at The Texas Heart Institute and Baylor College of Medicine. A native of Tijuana, Mexico, she attended medical school at Universidad Autonoma De Baja in California, after obtaining the highest score statewide in the medical school entry examination. Dr. Razavi then completed medical residency training at Baylor College of Medicine and became the first female international graduate of The Texas Heart Institute Cardiology Fellowship training program and the first Hispanic woman to pursue an additional cardiac electrophysiology subspecialty training program at THI. Few women choose this highly competitive career path, and she has garnered an international reputation as one of the best teachers in her specialty field.
