Biography

Dr. James Hochrein is a general cardiologist and longtime leader at Cone Health, where he has served since 1999. He is chief of both the Cone Health HeartCare practice and the Cardiovascular Service Line, helping shape care that’s focused not just on treating heart disease—but preventing it. His clinical interests center on risk reduction and empowering patients to take charge of their heart health before problems arise.

Originally from a small coal mining town, Dr. Hochrein was inspired by his parents’ strong belief in education and found his calling in medicine. He’s proud to bring advanced cardiovascular care to a community like Greensboro, where relationships run deep and care feels personal.

“Cardiology at Cone Health is truly world-class. And to offer that level of care in a community like Greensboro—where we know each other and have deep connections—is something special. You don’t need to go anywhere else to get world-class care.” - James Hochrein, MD
