Harnessing the Power
of a Team of Experts
- You do not have to give up your favorite doctor, technician, or assistant to still have access to the highest level of cardiac diagnostics and care available. We function as an additional member of the team you have bonded with, know, and trust.
- Our collaborative approach minimizes stress, maximizes information, and improves diagnostic interpretation and treatment planning.
- While you may only interact with one of our cardiologists, they come backed by an entire group of experienced, board-certified doctors. Our doctors work together as a team, which means when you get one of us, you get all of us.
- With over 45 years of combined experience, we have one of the largest cardiology practices on the West Coast. There is no problem that our team has not seen and feels confident treating.
