Who you'll see
Every test in our office is read by the cardiologist. Every care plan is hers. And the people around her make sure you're seen quickly and nothing gets lost between visits.
Board-certified cardiologist
Reads every test. Directs every care plan.
Dr. Thaik is a fellowship-trained cardiologist, board-certified in cardiovascular disease and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. She reads every study performed in our office herself and directs each patient's plan of care — in plain language, with the time to explain it.
How your visit works
A person answers — not a recording. We check your insurance for you and find you a time, most new patients within the week.
You'll often start with our nurse practitioner, who works directly with our cardiologist. We go over your history, your medications, and what's been going on.
If you need a test, it's done in our office by our own team — no hospital scheduling, no second waiting list.
The cardiologist reads every study. We call you and explain the results in plain words — in English or Spanish — and your primary doctor gets a copy.
You'll be seen quickly — often by our nurse practitioner, who works directly with our cardiologist. Every test is performed in our office and read by the cardiologist. You get answers fast because the whole team is under one roof.
Everyone you'll meet
The people who answer the phone. They check your insurance, find you a time, tell you what to bring, and help with the paperwork — in English or Spanish.
Our own technologists perform every heart test here in the office — echocardiograms, stress tests, nuclear imaging, vascular ultrasound, and heart monitoring. The cardiologist reads them all.
Medical assistants who take your vitals, go over your medications, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks between one visit and the next.
An independent practice
No hospital system owns us. There's no system to capture you into.
Your cardiology team and your primary care team work in the same practice and talk to each other every day. Decisions about your care are made here, in one office — not across a hospital campus.
If your primary doctor is outside our office, you go back to them with answers. If they're here, they already know.
Medicare, most PPO plans, and cash patients. One call, and we'll check your plan for you.
