What to Expect
Your initial appointment with one of our cardiac specialists will include a discussion of your medical history, a physical examination, and if indicated, any necessary diagnostic testing. We will evaluate whether your symptoms are cardiac-related and whether medical therapy and/or interventional procedures are necessary.
A new patient visit can run anywhere from 30-45 minutes. Please arrive 30 minutes early for your first appointment to complete any additional paperwork that we may need and to allow time for the receptionist to get your complete record together prior to your examination. Please call if you have any further questions at 775-770-7622. We look forward to your visit.
