October 22, 2024
Dr. Afnan Tariq is dedicated to caring for the whole person, not just the heart. His approach blends deep clinical expertise with a belief that health is about more than numbers — it’s about helping people feel well, stay active, and live with vitality. He is among a small group of cardiologists with advanced training in general, interventional, and structural heart care. As a teacher and mentor at UC Irvine, he encourages future physicians to see each patient as a unique individual with their own story, strengths, and goals. As CEO and Co-founder of Alyf Health, Dr. Tariq is pioneering new ways of listening to the language of the human body — translating subtle signals into insights that help people recognize concerns early and stay in balance. His mission is to support care that is not only reactive when problems occur, but proactive in helping people thrive. At Wave Wellness, Dr. Tariq combines medical insight with this holistic outlook, supporting patients in ways that honor both science and the human spirit.
