Dr. Israel Henriquez is a board-certified cardiologist dedicated to advancing cardiovascular care through clinical excellence, education, and patient-centered service. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, he graduated cum laude with a degree in Engineering from the University of Florida before earning his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) at Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2008. He completed both his Internal Medicine Residency and Cardiovascular Fellowship at Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah, Florida, where he served as Chief Resident, Chief Fellow, and was honored as Resident of the Year.

During residency and fellowship, Dr. Henriquez earned the nicknames “Harrison’s Henriquez” and “Brownwald ,” reflecting his encyclopedic command of medicine and cardiology, likened to the classic textbooks that bear those names. This reputation for academic rigor and clinical mastery continues to shape his approach to patient care today.

Dr. Henriquez is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease, with specialized certifications in echocardiography and nuclear cardiology. Since 2012, he has lectured on ECG and cardiovascular courses at Nova Southeastern University and serves as a clinical preceptor for both Kansas City University and Nova Southeastern medical students. He is also a preceptor for the Wellington Regional Internal Medicine Residency and the Lakeside Medical Center Family Medicine Residency. His career includes serving patients in Port Saint Lucie and West Palm Beach before joining the Cardiovascular Institute of Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida.

Beyond medicine, Dr. Henriquez treasures life with his wife, Cynthia, and their two children, Benjamin and Rayva. Their home is filled with love—and a little mischief—from their two cats, Lilly and Leo, and their dog, Jasmine. Active in church and missions, he finds joy in serving both his patients and his community. Dr. Henriquez believes that true wellness is rooted not only in heart health but also in faith, family, and service.
