Dr. James Beckerman is a cardiologist in clinical practice with Columbia Cardiology Associates and the Providence Heart and Vascular Institute at St. Vincent's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. He is committed to helping his patients find healthy solutions to prevent heart disease and improve their quality of life, and he is working to break down barriers between doctors and patients using the internet and social media. Dr. Beckerman takes a "whole patient" approach to both wellness and heart disease, and believes that small, incremental changes in lifestyle yield the most positive and long lasting results. He is excited to share his optimistic approach to heart health and weight loss with his patients and the public in his upcoming book, The Single Pound Solution, to be published in 2010 by Simon and Schuster.
