While cardiologists specialize in treating complex heart conditions, your primary care physician is the most important member of your heart health team. We serve as the central point for your care, focusing on:
- Risk Assessment: We identify your personal risk factors for heart disease, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and a family history of heart conditions.
- Routine Screenings: We perform regular screenings for key indicators of heart health, such as blood pressure and cholesterol checks, as part of your annual physical and routine check-ups.
- Personalized Prevention Plans: We work with you to create a customized plan to lower your risk, which may include guidance on diet, exercise, weight management, and smoking cessation.
- Early Symptom Evaluation: If you experience any symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, we are your first point of contact for an evaluation. We will determine if your symptoms are heart-related and provide an immediate course of action.
- Medication Management: For patients with existing risk factors, we can prescribe and manage medications to control high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other contributing conditions.
- Care Coordination and Referrals: If your condition requires specialized care, we will refer you to a trusted cardiologist or other specialist within our network, ensuring a seamless transition and coordinated care.
