We start by listening to understand you and your health concerns. Then, we work with you to create a care plan that’s right for you.
Helping you improve your heart health
When your energy level is different than usual, your heart starts racing or you have risk factors for heart attack or stroke, we’re here to help. Our cardiologist, Dr. Augustus Caine Jr., helps you recognize how other conditions, symptoms and medications can affect your heart. We use heart imaging tests, cholesterol tests, heart enzyme blood tests, EKG, and blood pressure monitoring to detect all types of heart disease — irregular heartbeat, leaky heart valve, clogged coronary artery, and more.
Dr. Caine is also a trained nuclear cardiologist and vascular health specialist, specializing in the interpretation of advanced diagnostic cardiac imaging of the heart. He diagnoses and treats vascular disorders that affect the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients throughout your body.
