Cardiac & Vascular Conditions

An estimated 100 million Americans are at risk for various cardiac conditions affecting the heart, lungs, and vessels. Dr. Waterford offer world-class care close to home and can treat a variety of peripheral vascular, cardiovascular, and thoracic surgical conditions. We offer screenings, consultations, diagnosis, and follow-up appointments for heart and blood vessel problems, as well as second opinions for conditions that involve care and treatment by other vascular and/or cardiothoracic surgeons.

Maybe you are at higher risk for heart and vessel disease due to family history, diabetes, high blood pressure, or lifestyle (overweight, smoking). Sometimes our patients have vague symptoms like leg swelling or pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort. All of these are good reasons to consider an expert evaluation at our office. Don’t be afraid to get healthy and stay healthy!
