Dr. Chao-Wei Hwang joined the Cardiology Faculty in 2011 and practices Interventional Cardiology at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Howard County General Hospital and Frederick Memorial Hospital. His area of research interest is in the design and development of active sensing drug delivery systems and local delivery systems for cell-based therapies to the heart.

Patient Ratings & Comments
The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
