We care for:
- Blood clots
- Chest pain
- Congestive heart failure (when the heart isn't strong enough to pump blood as well as it should)
- Coronary artery disease (the heart doesn’t get enough blood because blood vessels are narrow or blocked)
- Fainting
- Heart attacks
- Heart health for both men and women
- Heart murmur (you hear an extra or strange sound when listening to your heartbeat)
- Heart problems that you might have been born with
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol and high triglycerides (fats in the blood that can lead to heart attack or stroke)
- Problems with the speed or rhythm that your heart beats (often called atrial fibrillation, arrhythmias or palpitations)
- Shortness of breath
Our philosophy of care is that there’s no such thing as no.
That means that if someone doesn’t feel well, we’ll do all that we can to see them today. If they need a test, we’ll do all that we can to get them the tests they need as soon as possible. Patient care is our priority.
This kind of care is truly supported by ProHEALTH as an organization. We can send patients for tests as late as midnight; there’s a sense of availability of patient care that’s been my personal attitude my entire career.
We really do take care of the whole patient–not just their cardiac symptoms. We’re highly integrated with other departments. For example, there’s an extraordinary team of endocrinologists right down the hall who take same day appointments, so we can provide full diabetes management. This is crucial because we know today that the best practice in preventative care is to be highly integrated for optimal cardiovascular results.
And we can share information seamlessly through electronic health records across the ProHEALTH computer network.
I’ve always enjoyed the preventative aspects of medical care, and ProHEALTH enables me and my fellow physicians to work together with the critical goal of elevating the overall level of patient care and patient experience.
We offer:
- Several monitoring tests to check the health of your heart
- A test to see how well blood flows through the arteries in your neck (carotid Doppler)
- A test that uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart (echocardiogram)
- Heart monitors that you wear at home
- Heart monitors that are placed in your body, by an operation
- A test that uses special cameras to look for damaged or dead heart muscle (nuclear stress test)
- A test that uses sound waves to create moving pictures of your heart (echo stress test)
- A test that records the electrical signals your heart makes (electrocardiogram, or EKG)
Many of our cardiology offices are recognized as patient-centered medical homes, a sign of high-quality care.

A word from our expert
'"At ProHEALTH cardiology, we don’t just take care of you when you’re sick. We work just as hard to help keep you healthy. We work with your primary care doctor and other specialists to care for the whole 'you' so you can live your healthiest life possible."
