Patient Information

A cardiac condition does not have to limit your life. Most cardiac conditions can be managed effectively with appropriate treatment and follow up with your cardiologist. Diagnostic Study. Our offices provide a number of diagnostic tests or studies which may require special preparation. Our scheduling staff will provide you with all the information you will need to prepare for your test or procedure.

We know that a first visit to a cardiologist can be a stressful time if you are worried about heart disease. Please rest assured that our staff and physicians are very knowledgeable and will do everything needed to put your mind to rest and ensure you and your family members have all the information you need about your health.

Often before surgery your surgeon will want you to have a pre-operative cardiology clearance. When you make your pre-operative appointment please be sure to let the office know that this is a pre-op clearance visit. The office also will need to know the name of your surgeon, and the date and location of your surgery. This way we can be sure to get the clearance report to the physician and the facility in advance of your scheduled surgery.

If you have an acute or sudden problem, please call our office staff and let them know. Our Triage Nurses will help direct you to the most appropriate care. If an office visit is appropriate, we will make every effort to see you the same day. Please call before coming to the office.
