Longer appointments
Cardiovascular risk assessment done properly cannot happen in fifteen minutes. Visits are scheduled to fit the work.
What to expect
No surprises about the process. Here is the sequence from first contact through ongoing care.
A short conversation to understand what brought you here and what you want to know. You will get a straight answer about whether this practice is the right fit—and if it is not, a suggestion of what would be.
You share prior labs, imaging, and records. These are reviewed in advance, so the first consultation starts from what is already known rather than spending it on history-taking.
A full cardiovascular evaluation: history, family history, and a detailed review of your risk factors and prior results. We finish with a clear picture of what is known, what is uncertain, and what—if anything—is worth testing further.
Any recommended labs or imaging are arranged through established centers. You will know before each test why it is being done and what the possible results would mean.
We go through every result together, in plain language, and build the plan. Most of it is lifestyle—what to eat, how to move, how to sleep, how to handle stress—made specific to your situation rather than general advice. Where medication is warranted, we discuss it honestly, including where the evidence is strong and where it is not. You leave with the plan in writing.
Prevention is not a single visit. We track how you respond, adjust as your numbers and your life change, and coordinate with your primary care physician throughout.
What you leave with
Testing on its own tells you very little. Four things come out of this work, and you keep all of them.
What your results actually say about your cardiovascular risk—which numbers matter for you specifically, which do not, and how confident the picture is.
Nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress made specific to your history and your week. Where medication is warranted, what it is and why, with the evidence stated honestly.
Which follow-up testing is worth doing, at what interval, and what would change the plan. No open-ended schedule of scans.
The assessment and recommendations go to your primary care physician and any existing cardiologist, so everyone is working from one picture rather than three partial ones.
What is different
Cardiovascular risk assessment done properly cannot happen in fifteen minutes. Visits are scheduled to fit the work.
Prior labs and imaging are reviewed before you arrive, not skimmed during the visit.
Consultations are currently by secure video, and labs and imaging are arranged at facilities near you—no commute for an appointment that is mostly conversation.
Subspecialty imaging training means results are read in context—what they mean for you specifically, and what they do not mean.
Begin with the complimentary introductory call. No commitment.
