About Peter Pelikan, MD

Triple certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in Cardiovascular Disease, Internal Medicine, and Interventional Cardiology, Peter C. D. Pelikan, MD is a New York City native who graduated from The Bronx High School of Science. He majored in biology at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and he earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. Dr. Pelikan fell in love with Southern California during his time here, but after completing his internship and residency in internal medicine at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California, he moved back to the east coast to complete a fellowship in cardiology at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.  

It was while working on his fellowship on the East Coast, Dr. Pelikan realized how much he missed Southern California, and he could not wait to return to the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center as an assistant professor of medicine and co-director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. In 1989 he left academic medicine to join the Pacific Heart Institute where he has specialized in interventional and consulting cardiology ever since.  

Dr. Pelikan is currently the Medical Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Providence Saint John’s Health Center. His medical interests include Angiography and intervention/Stenting, Coronary and Peripheral, as well as Structural Heart Disease, including MitraClip, TAVR, and Watchman implantation. 

An avid skier and fly-fisher, Dr. Pelikan loves the outdoors. While indoors, he is trying to learn to play the piano. 

The Doctor was right to point and very kind caring and knowledgable. He should teach classes on this type of care ..amazing Doctor

I saw Dr. Pelikan to review the results of a recent heart scan. Dr. Pelikan was very thorough and asked a multitude of questions including, family history of heart problems, my history, medications, and any current health issues I was experiencing. Dr. Pelikan had performed a life saving cardiac catheterization of my father in 2002. He spent time looking through this report. Based on family history of heart issues, my heart scan and current issues he set me up for a series of ECHO exams. Also as I had informed him of a chronic congestive cough I have experienced for 6+ months he contacted my GP requesting this be investigated further. My GP immediately set me up with an appointment with him to further investigate. I could not have been more pleased with my visit.
