Georgia has four verified clinics listing cardiology as a speciality. Only one of them — CMC Hospital in Tbilisi — has a named cardiac surgery department, a cardiac intensive care unit, and 24/7 emergency cardiac cover. The other three list cardiology among several general specialities, which is a real and important difference if your case is anything beyond a diagnostic consultation.
Why “Lists Cardiology” Isn’t the Same as “Does Cardiac Surgery”
Cardiology spans an enormous range: a diagnostic echocardiogram and consultation is a completely different service from coronary bypass or valve surgery. A general hospital can genuinely offer good outpatient cardiology — checkups, medication management, non-invasive diagnostics — without having the infrastructure for cardiac surgery itself: a dedicated cardiac ICU, an on-call cardiac surgical team, and the case volume that keeps a surgical team’s skills sharp.
Before booking anywhere for a cardiac condition, ask directly: is this a cardiology consultation, or does the hospital perform the actual procedure I need, with its own cardiac surgery department and ICU? The answer separates Georgia’s four clinics cleanly.
Where Care Actually Happens
CMC Hospital (Caucasus Medical Centre), Tbilisi — the specialised option. JCI-accredited, fully renovated and reopened in 2018 with 306 beds. Runs a dedicated cardiac surgery department alongside a cardiac intensive care unit, handling scheduled and emergency cardiology, arrhythmology and cardiac surgery. Diagnostics include 24/7 transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, Holter monitoring, stress echocardiography and CT coronary angiography on a 640-slice scanner. Also covers oncology and neurology. Rated 4.7/5 across 340 reviews, mid-range pricing. English, Georgian and Russian spoken. This is the clinic to look at for anything beyond a routine cardiology consultation.
Aversi Clinic Tbilisi — one of Georgia’s largest private hospital networks, 20+ locations, cardiology alongside oncology, orthopedics and neurology. ISO 9001 certified, rated 4.6/5 across 412 reviews, budget pricing.
International University Hospital Batumi and Batumi Referral Hospital — both multi-specialty hospitals on the coast, cardiology alongside general medicine and surgery. ISO 9001 certified, rated 4.6/5, mid-range pricing. Reasonable for outpatient cardiology if you’re already in Batumi, less so for surgical cardiac cases.

What This Means in Practice
Georgia makes the most sense for patients who:
- Have a cardiac condition requiring actual surgical intervention (bypass, valve repair/replacement, arrhythmia procedures) and specifically choose CMC Hospital’s dedicated cardiac department for it
- Need outpatient cardiology — consultation, diagnostics, ongoing management — where any of the four verified clinics can reasonably serve
- Value having a choice of city between Tbilisi and Batumi for the less surgically-intensive end of care
It makes less sense to book cardiac surgery at a general hospital without first confirming it has the actual surgical infrastructure — ask the “does this hospital do the procedure, or just the consultation” question before anything else.
What to Bring
- Full cardiac history: prior diagnoses, ECGs, echocardiogram reports, angiogram results if you’ve had one
- Current medication list, especially anticoagulants
- Recent bloodwork including cardiac markers if available
- A referral letter or summary from your treating cardiologist
Getting Started
If your case involves anything surgical, confirm with the clinic directly that they have a cardiac surgery department and ICU, not just a cardiology outpatient service. See verified cardiology clinics in Georgia, or ask our AI assistant — describe your condition and it will help match you with the right level of care.
