Why Choose Scripps for Your Heart Care

At Scripps, we treat the person, not the illness. You’re at the center of a team of heart specialists whose common goal is to maintain or improve your heart health. 

Our patient-centered approach to care includes experts in preventing, diagnosing, managing and treating heart disease. We keep you and your loved ones informed and involved every step of the way, from helping you understand your diagnosis to making educated decisions about your treatment. Together, we can find the best, most effective options for you. We are now offering Video Visits for some specialty care appointments. If you are interested in scheduling a Video Visit, contact the provider’s office directly. The doctor’s office will work with you to determine if this is the right type of visit for you.

We also know that you have concerns that go far beyond your medical treatment. We’re committed to doing all we can to help you through your journey, with comprehensive support services, including rehabilitation services, integrative medicine, palliative care and referrals to numerous community resources dedicated to making your journey easier.
