Statistically, there are a fairly small number of health issues that present major risks to Americans. We focus heavily on these causes of early death and disability because they are often crises that can be prevented.
Heart Disease
The #1 cause of death in America. For 25% of Americans, the first sign of heart disease will be sudden death.
We identify vascular disease and intervene early. Heart attacks occur when cholesterol deposits become inflamed and rupture, causing an acute clog of an artery supplying blood to the heart. No single test can tell when this might happen.
A multifaceted analysis including detailed past medical and family history, advanced cholesterol testing, new biomarkers of vascular inflammation, unhurried physical examination, carotid ultrasonography with intimal medial thickness measurement, echocardiography, stress testing and coronary CT angiography can all define the "current" status of your cardiac/vascular health-a status that will change over time and needs to be monitored for change. We used technology that does not expose you to risk can define to sub millimeter measurements cholesterol plaque burden in your vascular system.
Stroke
The #2 cause of death in America. Vascular disease is again responsible for this lethal health crisis. As a leading cause of death and maybe more importantly, a leading cause of severe disability, we intervene and minimize your risk of confronting this terrible disease.
Many of the factors contributing to heart disease lead to stroke. We carefully analyze the blood vessels supplying your brain with vital blood flow and monitor them over time for any evidence of constricted blood flow.
Cancer
Early detection and treatment is the key to increased survival of many types of cancer. We use the latest laboratory, imaging, and genetic risk analyses to best protect you.
We follow the American Cancer Society’s, The American College of Gastroenterology, and The American Academy of Family Practice guidelines for testing and surveillance. We strongly believe that as the recipient of our annual executive evaluations, early detection and treatment will dramatically reduce your cancer risks.
Diabetes
Diabetes and its related complications account for untold disability and early death in Americans. By identifying early and addressing the risk factors associated with diabetes, you can demonstrably reduce your risks and likely prevent the onset of this disease.
The unusual amount of physician time that we are able to offer you to review your risk factors and provide you the educational support that you may need will lower the incidence and severity of this epidemic problem.
Absence Of Your Medical Information In An Emergency
This may strike you as a strange risk to be listed along side major diseases. The fact is that nearly 200,000 people die each year in the U.S. due to medical errors often caused by a lack of accurate medical information about a patient.
To address this risk, we issue all of our clients a VitalKey, a USB thumb drive that is designed to house your vital medical information. Even if you can’t speak for yourself, the VitalKey on your key chain will tell doctors what they need to know in an emergency.
