Medication changes

There are times when patients may be on a certain pharmaceutical that is causing unwanted side effects. No two medications are the same, and each medication affects others differently. We encourage our patients who are currently unhappy with their medication management to contact our practice for an evaluation and to discuss possible alternatives that may better suit their lifestyle. We do our best to manage medications in a way that reduces the side effects and helps patients feel their best while maintaining their heart health. Patients with any concerns should work with our providers and cardiovascular doctors to decide the best treatment modality for their needs.
