Our Services
Cardiology
Our cardiology team handles a wide range of heart and vascular conditions. Common reasons patients come in include chest pain, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, and irregular heartbeat. Diagnostic services include EKG, echocardiogram, Holter monitoring, and stress testing.
Oncology
Our oncology team communicates openly with patients and families at every stage of treatment. We explain options, discuss side effects honestly, and adjust the care plan as the clinical picture evolves.
Orthopedics
Whether you are recovering from a sports injury or managing chronic joint pain, our orthopedic specialists have the experience to help. We offer on-site X-ray and MRI coordination, along with joint injection therapy and fracture management.
Neurology
Brain and nerve health significantly affects daily functioning, and our neurology team takes that seriously. We offer specialized clinics for headache, sleep disorders, and movement conditions.
Gynecology
Pelvic health encompasses more than reproductive care, and our gynecology team takes a broad view. Pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and sexual health concerns are addressed with the same discretion and expertise as all other aspects of women's healthcare.
Urgent Care
When illness or injury strikes and your primary care physician is unavailable, our urgent care team is here. We handle a broad range of acute conditions efficiently, with shorter wait times than a typical ER.
Surgery
Our surgical team offers consultations, pre-operative assessment, and post-operative follow-up for a range of elective and urgent procedures.

Patients are encouraged to bring their insurance card to every visit and to contact the office in advance if they have questions about coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an echocardiogram and do I need one?
An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to create images of the heart's structure and function. It is ordered when a cardiologist needs to assess valve function, heart muscle performance, or structural abnormalities that cannot be fully evaluated by ECG alone.
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.
