We offer in-office, same-day, and hospital services, including, but not limited to: Cardiovascular Risk Assessment and Disease Prevention. Our heart specialists diagnose and treat a range of conditions; some of the most common include:
Coronary Artery Disease
The most common type of heart disease, coronary artery disease, occurs when a waxy substance (plaque) builds up and hardens in the arteries that supply blood to the heart; this buildup is called atherosclerosis, and it makes it difficult for blood to flow through the arteries.
Atrial Fibrillation
An irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that is often rapid and can lead to poor blood flow, atrial fibrillation occurs when the upper two chambers of the heart, called the atria, receive abnormal electrical signals.
Watchman™
AFib can cause blood to pool in a small area of the heart called the left atrial appendage (LAA), where clots may form and travel to the brain. The Watchman device—a small, umbrella-shaped implant—closes off the LAA to keep clots from entering the bloodstream. This permanently reduces the risk of stroke and may eliminate the need for long-term blood-thinner therapy.
Peripheral Artery Disease
Also known as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), this condition causes narrowing of the blood vessels that carry blood to the limbs, often resulting in pain in the extremities.
Venous Insufficiency
Also called venous reflux, this condition is characterized by inadequate blood flow through the veins, which causes blood to pool in the legs; venous insufficiency is most often caused by blood clots or varicose veins.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) is a less invasive alternative to open-heart surgery for patients with severe aortic stenosis. Using a catheter, a new valve is implanted through a small incision, usually in the leg, allowing for quicker recovery and shorter hospital stays.
