Do YOU need a caring heart doctor to evaluate your heart health?PRIMARY OFFICE: Northwell Health Physician Partners For many people with possible or definite heart-related complaints, the expertise of a physician specialist in cardiology is vital for appropriate cardiovascular care. Knowing how to reduce one's risk for heart disease is so important to communicate to our patients. Elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, tobacco use, high stress living, inadequate or poor physical aerobic exercise, excess weight, early familial heart disease, and raised blood levels of sugar are some of the well-known contributors to the increasing global concern of cardiovascular disease such as heart attack and stroke. Many patients, together with their health care professionals, are working hard to improve these risk factors through direct patient-centered care and active cardiac research. However, much more can be done. I offer a caring and comprehensive cardiac evaluation and want to help reduce YOUR risk for heart disease and appropriately manage your preexisting heart problems. As a medical doctor and cardiologist, I’ve been trained to use the skills of patient history taking, the performance of a relevant and clinical medical exam, as well as electrocardiographic (ECG), echocardiographic (Echo), and, where appropriately indicated, cardiac computed tomographic interpretation (Cardiac CTA and coronary calcium score). –All with a great bedside manner.
