Patient information
A short guide to your appointment — what to bring, how the visit runs, and the questions patients ask most often.
Call 911 immediately for chest pain or pressure, severe shortness of breath, fainting, or weakness or drooping on one side of the body. This website and our office phone line are not for emergencies.
For non-urgent questions during business hours, call (214) 295-6559.
Many patients come by referral from a primary care physician, and some come directly. Whether a referral is required depends on your insurance plan, so call the office and we can check before your visit.
Plan for a longer visit than a routine check-up. A first cardiology appointment includes a full history, an examination, and time to discuss findings — and testing may be added on the same day.
Never stop a heart medication on your own. Some tests do require a temporary change, and if that applies to you the office will give you specific instructions in advance.
If you have chest pain, pressure, severe shortness of breath, fainting, or symptoms of a stroke, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for an appointment and do not drive yourself.
Please call the office to confirm coverage for your specific plan before your appointment. We do not list plans here that have not been verified.
Call the office to schedule, or send an appointment request and our staff will follow up to confirm a time that works for you.
