Our Services
Cardiology
From first-time evaluations to ongoing chronic disease management, our cardiology team is here for every stage. We perform non-invasive cardiac testing on-site, including Doppler ultrasound and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Oncology
Supportive oncology care — including pain management, nutritional guidance, and psychological support — is integrated into every patient's treatment plan. Quality of life remains a central focus alongside disease control.
Pediatrics
Our pediatric team provides health care for children from newborns through late adolescence. Routine services include well-child visits, developmental screenings, immunizations, and school and sports physicals.
Neurology
Neurological care at our practice is built on thorough clinical assessment and precise diagnostic testing. We evaluate symptoms carefully before recommending imaging, EEG, or nerve studies, ensuring that resources are used appropriately.
Surgery
The surgical team works closely with anesthesia, nursing, and post-operative care providers to ensure a seamless experience from initial consultation through full recovery. Patient education and discharge planning begin before the day of surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I reduce my risk of heart disease?
Key modifiable risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, elevated LDL cholesterol, physical inactivity, excess body weight, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular check-ups, medication when appropriate, and lifestyle modifications all contribute to meaningful risk reduction.
Is a stress test painful or risky?
Exercise stress tests are generally well-tolerated. Patients walk on a treadmill while heart activity is monitored. For those who cannot exercise adequately, pharmacological stress testing achieves the same diagnostic goals without physical exertion.
What symptoms should prompt a cardiology referral?
Chest pain or pressure, palpitations, unexplained shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, and swelling in the legs are all symptoms that warrant evaluation by a cardiologist. A primary care provider can help determine whether a referral is appropriate.
