EVALUATION
We offer state-of-the-art cardiology and maintain accreditation in nuclear cardiology and echocardiography, but our real focus is face-to-face evaluation, understanding that most diagnoses are made by listening to and examining patients. We continue to take notes with pen and paper so that we are not distracted by a computer screen while talking to you.
A patient's assessment may include a combination of the following:
WHAT WE TREAT

Hardening of the arteries, asymptomatic coronary atherosclerosis, chest pain, angina, heart attacks
