Start With a Conversation
Book a Heart Health Assessment
If you've never had your blood pressure or cholesterol checked, or it's been a while, a heart health assessment is a straightforward first step. Your provider will review your numbers, your family history, and any symptoms or concerns, then build a plan around what your heart actually needs, whether that's lifestyle changes, medication, monitoring, or a referral to a cardiologist.
Proactive Cardiovascular Care
Cardiovascular Conditions We Manage
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Ongoing monitoring and treatment to keep your numbers in a healthy range.

What Monitoring Looks Like
Screening and Ongoing Management
Managing your heart health starts with knowing your numbers. A blood pressure reading is part of every visit, and the American Heart Association considers a reading of 130/80 mmHg or higher to be elevated, a threshold worth discussing with your provider even if you feel fine. Cholesterol is typically checked through a blood panel, which our on-site lab can often process without a separate appointment.
From there, your provider will set a follow-up schedule based on your numbers and risk factors, whether that's every few months while adjusting medication or an annual check once things are stable.

Frequently Asked Questions
The CDC recommends most adults have their cholesterol checked every four to five years starting at age 20, though your provider may recommend more frequent checks if you have risk factors like a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Your provider will set a schedule based on your specific numbers and history.
The American Heart Association considers a reading of 130/80 mmHg or higher to be elevated, and readings of 140/90 or higher fall into a more serious category. A single high reading isn't necessarily cause for alarm, but consistently elevated numbers are worth discussing with your provider, since high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms.
Yes. Many patients managing high blood pressure or high cholesterol are also managing other chronic conditions like diabetes, and our team coordinates all of it together rather than treating each condition in isolation. Regular check-ins let us adjust your plan as your overall health changes.
Not necessarily. Most blood pressure and cholesterol management happens successfully through primary care. If your provider identifies something that needs a higher level of cardiac care, such as a heart rhythm concern or more advanced testing, they'll help coordinate a referral to a cardiologist.
