Our practice was established in Westwood in 1925. It has grown from a family practice into a group specializing in cardiac diagnosis and treatment. The practice has always emphasized quality, professional care given with warmth and individual attention to each patient. We care for your heart at every stage of your life--prevention of heart disease and diagnosis and treatment of all cardiac problems.
It is important to us to involve you in every step of the diagnostic process. Our doctors generally discuss all test results directly with you. We ask that you call our office after any test. The doctor will return your call in a timely fashion to give you a complete report.
Physician Referrals: Many of our patients are referred to our practice by their primary care physician. It is always our policy to send you back to your primary care doctor after your cardiac treatment is complete.
