WHAT'S NEW?

A SIMPLE, 30 MINUTE TEST THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Our office is proud to offer a brand new program, called "PLAQUE DETECT." This painless, noninvasive 30 minute test uses state of the art ultrasound to diagnose blockages in the carotid arteries, which can lead to stroke. The abdominal aorta and the circulation to the legs is also thoroughly evaluated. Finally, the function of the heart is analyzed, something that no other screening program offers.

WELCOME TO OUR NEWLY REMODELED OFFICE
Come visit our beautiful, expanded offices in Suite 106. The lovely new space was designed with your comfort in mind. Using warm, earthy tones and welcoming decor, your visit will feel more relaxed. Our friendly staff is here to serve you from 9am to 5pm.
