About Jerry P Roy, MD
Jerry P. Roy, MD, MBA, is a board-certified cardiologist and interventional cardiologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease and structural heart disease. He provides acute, chronic and preventive cardiovascular care for adult patients.
Dr. Roy has a clinical focus on aortic valve disease and coronary artery disease. He performs advanced interventional procedures including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with coronary stenting, intracoronary imaging, atherectomy and mechanical circulatory support.
With more than 11 years of experience in interventional cardiology, Dr. Roy is committed to delivering evidence-based, patient-centered care. He has successfully built and led a cardiology practice in south central Kentucky and has been recognized as a top cardiologist for quality of care and consistency.
Dr. Roy believes in treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

Professional Statement
"Interventional cardiology offers a rare combination: the immediacy of changing a patient's outcome in real time, paired with a field that demands continuous learning as techniques and evidence evolve. That balance of impact and intellectual challenge is what drew me to this specialty and what keeps me invested in it. Every patient brings a different story and a different way of understanding their own health. Navigating that variety has sharpened my communication skills and deepened my patience, qualities that carry over well beyond the clinic. Sometimes the difference I make is immediate, such as restoring blood flow during a heart attack. Just as often, it's found in the quieter moments, a clear explanation, an early diagnosis, or simply helping someone feel less afraid. Both are central to the work, and I strive to give each the attention it deserves."
