The Cardiologist and the Phoenix/Tempe Senior: Questions of the Heart

February 21, 2018

When looking for the right cardiologist, the first question to ask is if they are board certified. When it comes to your heart health, it is key that you find a doctor who specializes in cardiology, not something else.  

A second question you will want to ask your doctor - Is there one particular area they are more informed/specialize in? Make sure that whoever you are working with is knowledgable of your condition and has a good plan to work with you to live a healthy fulfilled life as a Phoenix/Tempe senior.

Another question is how they will treat you and your heart issue, and also, how many - if any - other patients have they treated that have the same condition? Everyone has a different method of treatment, and you want to make sure that you are comfortable with whatever health plan you are given.
