Our services

During your first visit, you can expect to have a conversation about new symptoms, your health history, managing medications, and your potential risk for heart disease. Your care team coordinates any tests and treatments needed, then they monitor your heart care to help prevent more serious conditions such as heart attack and stroke.

Imaging tests, cholesterol tests, heart enzyme blood tests, EKG, and blood pressure monitoring help your doctor diagnose heart disease and related conditions, such as irregular heartbeat, leaky heart valve, clogged coronary artery, and more. We coordinate any imaging, lab testing, or pharmacy support you might need.

Our cardiologists also provide specialty care for arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), atrial fibrillation (AFib), and other heart rhythm disorders. AFib increases your risk for a stroke or transient ischemic attack, also called a TIA or mini-stroke. 

If you are experiencing chest pain – especially in combination with jaw or arm pain, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting or difficulty breathing – you might be having a heart attack. Please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.
