How Concierge Medicine Transforms Your Cardiac Screening Experience

Experts recommend that you start monitoring your heart health at age 20. Fortunately, much of this is probably built into the healthcare you’re already receiving. The blood work your doctor orders includes important indicators about your cardiovascular health, for example. 

As you get older, and especially if you have a family history of heart disease, you might want more frequent and more involved screening for your heart health. David Bolon, MD, offers precisely that. 

Here at Manhattan Integrative Cardiovascular, he performs thorough cardiac screenings. By combining that with concierge medicine, he helps you get better support for this critical organ. Here’s a look at the difference with concierge cardiology. 

Before your appointment

If you’ve had a cardiac screening in the past, we can guess at the process. You probably called the doctor’s office, waited on hold, and were told you'd have to wait weeks for an appointment.

Concierge cardiac screenings are different. We offer same- and next-day appointments. When you want to figure out what’s going on with your heart, we make sure you can get answers fast. 

During your appointment

Traditionally, doctors’ appointments are hurried affairs. You might be passed around within a team for several screenings, then only get a few scant minutes with your doctor. 

Concierge medicine, by contrast, allows Dr. Bolon to take his time with you. There’s no rushing through. 

First, he asks you about your personal and family history of heart issues. Then, he inquires about any symptoms you’ve been experiencing. If you want to discuss any goals for your cardiovascular health, you’ll have the opportunity to talk them through with Dr. Bolon, too.

We also take as much time as you’d like with your screenings. If you want to know what goes into an echocardiogram before you get one, for example, we can explain each step of the process to you. 

If you think your cardiac screening could be a stressful, hurried process, think again. Concierge medicine allows Dr. Bolon and our team to slow down and give you the attention you deserve. 

After your appointment

Here, we find probably the biggest difference with concierge cardiology. 

With this approach, Dr. Bolon becomes your partner on your heart health journey. He doesn’t quickly scan your chart and make a few rushed suggestions. Instead, he takes the time to develop a personalized plan to support your heart. 

Studies show that concierge medicine boosts both patient satisfaction and early disease prevention/detection. If you want a thorough plan tailored to help you keep your heart as healthy as possible, we’re here to help.
