Services

Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program for people who have had a heart attack, heart failure, heart valve surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting, or percutaneous coronary intervention. Cardiac rehab involves adopting heart-healthy lifestyle changes to address risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Heart Rhythm Clinic
Electrophysiology studies test the electrical activity of your heart to find where an arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) is coming from within your heart. These results can help you and your doctor decides whether you need medicine, a pacemaker, an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

Vein and Leg Pain Center
Vein and Leg Pain can now be treated without surgery. Varicose/Bulging Veins, Leg Pain or Swelling, Heaviness/Fatigue, Restless Legs, Leg Ulcer or Sores are areas we can help if you are experiencing difficulty. Outpatient Procedures are Minimally Invasive. Covered by Medicare and Private Insurance.

Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive heart failure undermines the heart’s job of pumping blood around the body. This can occur when the heart muscle is too weak, or when another defect prevents it from circulating blood properly.

Interventional Cardiology
In coronary artery disease, the coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked by a gradual build-up of fat (cholesterol) within the artery wall, which reduces blood flow to the heart muscle. This build-up is called “atherosclerotic plaque” or simply “plaque.”

Peripheral Artery Disease
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition that affects the blood vessels that supply the legs and feet. It leads to narrowing and hardening of the arteries. This causes decreased blood flow, which can injure nerves and other tissues.
