About Us

Our Founders

Our story began in 1978, when Dr. Malcolm S. Pond started caring for Riverside hearts. As medical director of cardiac rehabilitation at Riverside Community Hospital’s HeartCare Center, he became a familiar face to families across the city.

In 1989, Dr. Chiayu Chen joined him, and together they built Riverside Cardiology Associates. Dr. Chen started the “Lipid Club” lecture series for local physicians, and the two founded Inland Clinical Research together.


Many of our longtime patients first came to us under their care. Today, Dr. Georges AbouRjaili and Dr. Alain Waked carry that legacy forward with the same personal attention and the latest in heart care.
