Most diagnostic services can be completed in our offices, using modern technology and experienced clinical teams to deliver timely results and clear next steps.

From routine screenings to advanced imaging and heart rhythm monitoring, our focus is simple: fast answers, accurate diagnoses, and a clear path forward.

We offer the following tests and advanced diagnostics:

Electrocardiogram (EKG)

An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical signals traveling through your heart and measures the timing and strength of these impulses.

Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of your beating heart. It allows evaluation of your heart’s structure, pumping function, and the condition of its valves.

PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography + CT Scan)

PET/CT combines the power of PET imaging with a CT scan to create a precise, 3‑D picture of your heart and blood flow.

SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography)

SPECT is a heart‑imaging test that shows how well blood flows to your heart muscle. This helps detect reduced blood flow, prior heart damage, or blockages that may need treatment. It’s painless, safe, and done right in our office.
