At CVC, continuity of care is important to us. Therefore, you can expect to see the same physician at your scheduled appointments. However, your physician works with a mid-level provider who may help with your healthcare needs during your treatment plan. CVC believes that cardiovascular medicine is a team effort. At CVC, we have cardiologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, specialized technologists, and many others working together to bring you the best of care.
Will I still see my family physician?
Yes. You will still see your family physician for non-cardiac issues.
In some cases, your family physician may have referred you to CVC for cardiovascular testing. In this case, your CVC physician will discuss the results and follow your cardiac care needs . Some cardiovascular conditions require that you follow up with your CVC physician on a continual basis. During this process, CVC will communicate with your PCP by sending them a letter with your test results.
