Practices

In our clinic, the goal is to provide continuing, comprehensive, high quality, hands-on health maintenance and medical care to the entire family including Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Gynecology, Sports Medicine, Geriatrics, Minor Office Surgery and Dermatology. We treat children starting at five years of age, adults, and senior citizens. We are also committed to preventing illness by giving patients information they can use to stay healthy. We direct outpatient and inpatient care and services for our patients.

Echocardiogram (click on + to read more)

Echocardiogram  (also called an echo) is a type of ultrasound test that uses sound waves that are sent to the different parts of your hearth. A transducer picks up the echoes of the sound waves and they are turned into moving pictures of your heart that can be seen on a video screen. This test is ordered to look for the cause of abnormal heart sounds (murmurs or clicks), an enlarged heart, unexplained chest pains, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats. Check the thickness and movement of the heart wall. Look at the heart valves and check how well they work. Measure the size and shape of the heart’s chambers. Check the ability of your heart chambers to pump blood (cardiac performance). Look for blood clots and tumors inside the heart.
