Practice Philosophy
Office Hours
Patients are seen by appointment Monday through Friday from 08:30 till 5:00. Our staff will advise you of the days, times and physicians that are available at the various locations. If you are unable to keep a scheduled appointment, or are going to be late, please call our office as soon as possible. Every effort is taken to try to see our patients on time, however due to the nature of a Cardiology practice there will be emergencies.
Emergency Care
Our physicians are available 24 hours a day. If you have any emergency please call the office that serves you. In a life threatening EMERGENCY call 911 or go to the Emergency room and ask that your physician be called.

If you need a refill on your medications, please call your pharmacy one week in advance. They will check with your physician regarding your refill requirements. We do not refill medications after hours or on weekends. Please plan ahead by calling your pharmacy before you run out of medications.
Telephone Calls
When calling our office for advice regarding a medical condition, please review your medications, including doses, prior to placing your call. This will help us assist you. The clinic staff will give the information to your physician and return your call as soon as possible. Our nurses and staff are specially trained to answer your questions and pass information between you and your physician.
