- Primary CareMeasures blood flow to your heart both while at rest, and while your heart is working harder due to exertion or medication. During a nuclear exercise stress test, a small quantity of radioactive tracer is injected into a vein. This tracer releases radiation that is then detected by a special camera called a gamma camera, which produces computer images of the heart. When combined with exercise, this test assists in determining whether there is sufficient blood flow to the heart during activity versus at rest. Usually, an appointment for a nuclear stress test will take 2 to 3 hours, though the actual exercise part of the test only lasts less than 15 minutes. The results of a nuclear stress test are then reviewed by a cardiologist and reported to your referring or primary care physician.

- ElectrocardiogramThis test is used to check your heart’s rhythms. It is a continuous recording of a person’s EKG for 24 hours. The patient will have EKG electrodes attached to their chest, which are attached to a small tape recorder that can be hung around the patient’s neck or slung over the shoulder, or attached to their belt. Since the patient will go about their normal daily activities (except for anything in which water would touch the monitor), it allows the physician to correlate any symptoms of palpitations, dizziness or black outs, which will help determine any abnormalities or heart conditions. Holter monitoring can be more effective in detecting abnormal heart rhythms than EKGs since it is performed over a longer period of time.

- ImmunizationsVaccinations are one of the best preventative measures you can take for your health and the health of your family. Many serious diseases that require hospitalization or that can even be deadly, could easily be prevented with the appropriate vaccinations. This is especially important in infants and young children, so be sure to stay up-to-date! Adult vaccinations are determined by age, job, health conditions, lifestyle, international travel, and any previous vaccinations. All adults should make sure they receive their Influenza (flu) vaccine yearly, as well as their Tdap or Td vaccine. We offer the annual flu vaccination in the office every Friday as supplies allow. If you require other vaccinations, our staff can help coordinate this for you for easy access.

The whole staff is professional and the office is run excellent and in a timely matter, I am very grateful to Miss Schneider and Staff. Thank you!

- UltrasoundVenous ultrasounds are used to view your veins throughout your body in order to detect blood clots. If the veins in your abdomen are going to be examined, then you will most likely be asked not to drink or eat anything, except for water, for about 6 to 8 hours before the procedure. A Doppler ultrasound might be part of a venous ultrasound exam. Doppler ultrasound is a technique that shows the blood flow through the veins and arteries in the legs, arms, abdomen, neck and/or brain, and various body organs so that a physician can evaluate the blood flow and look for signs of abnormality.
