Common questions
Do I need a referral?
For most insurance plans, yes — even if your plan doesn't require it, having your primary care provider send the referral lets us see the relevant history and labs before your appointment, which makes the first visit more useful.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
A list of current medications (or the bottles themselves), recent labs and imaging if available from another system, any rhythm-monitor reports, and a list of your top two or three questions.
How long is the first appointment?
New-patient consultations are scheduled for 60 minutes — about 30 minutes face-to-face and 30 for review of prior records, imaging, and care planning.
What if I'm having chest pain right now?
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Cardiology clinic visits are not for active chest pain or possible heart attacks. After the emergency is stabilized, cardiology follow-up is part of the discharge plan.
