At Lifedoc, we aim to help manage every aspect of your health. We accomplish that by first offering regular Primary Care.

Cardiology
In a study, the American Heart Association found out that although diabetes is among the seven major surmountable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, adults suffering from the disease are two to four times more likely to suffer than those without it.
Because of this, our Lifedoc model offers thorough cardiology care and periodic testing to our patients with chronic conditions and diabetes to ascertain the odds of developing any risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.
Our in-house Noninvasive Cardiac Laboratory is fully equipped with cutting-edge equipment to provide accurate diagnostic services for your health care. Our services include echocardiography and stress testing.
