About me
Dr. Leila Yeh Beach is a cardiologist who cares for patients who have heart failure, including those with advanced disease requiring heart transplantation or left ventricular assist devices (which help the heart pump blood to the rest of the body). She has a particular interest in patients with heart failure related to inherited genetic disorders or heart valve abnormalities.
Beach's research focuses on the development of new medical devices and therapies to treat chronic and acute decompensated (suddenly exacerbated) heart failure. She is involved in multiple clinical studies and works to connect patients with appropriate clinical trials and testing of new therapies.
Beach earned her medical degree at UCSF, where she also completed a residency in internal medicine. She completed fellowships in cardiovascular disease and advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology at Stanford University.
Over the course of her training in both cardiovascular disease and heart failure and transplant cardiology at Stanford, Beach was recognized with the Alan Yeung and Sharon Hunt Outstanding Clinical Fellow Award, the Best Clinical Teaching by a Medicine Fellow Award, and the Kelley M. Skeff Graduate Medical Education Professionalism Award.

I have the highest regard for Dr. Beach. Technically she is clearly an expert. She also respects her patients and does a good job of engaging me, explaining things to me so I can understand, and she is "real", that is to say practical with her approach.
