Our cardiovascular treatments and services

Your needs are our top priority, so our services are always individualized to your current health needs.

Nonsurgical heart care

We believe in exploring all options before turning to surgery. So in addition to an in-house anticoagulation clinic for pharmacological treatment, we also offer lipid management counseling as a way to curb heart and vascular issues with lifestyle alterations.

Heart and vascular surgery

If surgery is needed, we make sure to prioritize advanced, minimally invasive procedures. These use tiny incisions and offer minimal scarring, setting you up for a faster recovery and return to your normal life.

The variety of services we offer to make these positive outcomes happen includes:

  • Atherosclerosis atherectomy and endarterectomy
  • Biventricular pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD-Bi-V) device implantation
  • Cardiac ablation
  • Cardiac closure devices for patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD)
  • Cardioversions
  • Convergent ablation procedure
  • Coronary angioplasty and stent placement
  • Hybrid surgical-catheter ablation
