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
Oncology at our center is built around personalized medicine. We use molecular profiling and pathology review to identify the most effective treatment strategies for each patient.
Pediatrics
Child healthcare requires patience, expertise, and a practice environment children feel comfortable in. Our pediatricians are experienced with the full range of childhood illnesses and developmental milestones.
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
Women's health care at our clinic is comprehensive and confidential. We perform in-office procedures including colposcopy, endometrial biopsy, IUD insertion and removal, and vulvar assessments.
Psychiatry
Our psychiatrists are experienced with treatment-resistant conditions and can offer evaluation for patients who have not responded adequately to previous medication trials. Second-opinion consultations are available for complex diagnostic questions.
Surgery
Our surgeons provide second opinions and collaborate with referring physicians to confirm that surgery is the appropriate intervention.

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.
