Cardiology

Advanced heart and vascular care to protect your cardiovascular health.

Our team helps patients evaluate heart-related symptoms, risk factors, blood pressure, cholesterol, and EKG findings. Care may include an in-office EKG, lab work, referral for additional cardiac testing, or specialist follow-up when clinically appropriate.

For patients whose heart risk overlaps with diabetes, weight, kidney disease, or other conditions, our team can coordinate next steps with primary care and appropriate specialists. Procedures requiring catheterization or surgery are referred out.
