Cardiologists are doctors that have a special understanding of the heart and how it works and heart diseases are among the greatest public health challenges of our time.

In recent years, improved understanding of cardiac disease has led to new and effective treatments, offering fresh hope to many patients. Our cardiology team uses preventive therapy and comprehensive testing to assess a patient’s risk of developing heart disease. We specialize in finding, treating, and preventing heart attacks, heart failure, heart rhythm disturbances and diseases of the blood vessels. Our team of cardiologists work with you to understand your illness and be an active participant in your own care.

  • Cardiac Stress Tests: series of tests to measure your heart’s performance and limitations

Pulmonology refers to diseases of your respiratory system that includes the lungs, bronchial tubes, nose, pharynx and throat.

We provide state-of-the-art clinical evaluation, diagnosis and treatment services to patients with respiratory health problems. We also perform pulmonary function testing, a valuable tool for evaluating the respiratory system. Our specialist physicians can perform diagnostic and interventional bronchoscopy which will help find out what the problem is and possibly fix it. Our Lung Specialists collaborate with colleagues in Cardiology, infectious diseases, oncology and surgeons in other specialties to provide comprehensive and effective treatment for patients. Our aim is to provide the best care available for our patients.
