Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your symptoms and medical history.

A neurologist evaluates conditions involving the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. A cardiologist evaluates conditions involving the heart and heart rhythm, while vascular care focuses on circulation and blood vessels.

If you are unsure which type of care you need, contact our team and describe the reason for your visit. We can help guide you through the appointment process.

Patients commonly seek cardiology care for symptoms or concerns such as:

• Chest discomfort
• Shortness of breath
• Heart palpitations
• Irregular heartbeat
• Dizziness or fainting
• High blood pressure
• Leg swelling
• Known heart disease or cardiovascular risk factors

A healthcare provider can help determine whether these symptoms require cardiac evaluation.

Vascular evaluation may be appropriate if you have symptoms that could involve blood circulation, such as:

• Leg pain or cramping while walking
• Persistent leg swelling
• Cold feet or legs
• Numbness or weakness in the legs
• Skin changes related to poor circulation
• Known peripheral artery disease
• Carotid artery disease

Not every symptom means that you have vascular disease, so an appropriate medical evaluation is important.

Your provider will typically discuss your symptoms, medical history, previous diagnoses, medications, and any relevant testing.

Based on the evaluation, your provider may recommend additional diagnostic testing, treatment, monitoring, or follow-up care.

It is helpful to bring:

• Your current medication list
• Relevant medical records
• Previous test or imaging results if available
• Insurance information
• Referral information if applicable
• A list of your symptoms and when they started
• Questions you want to discuss with your provider

Bringing an accurate medication and symptom history can help your provider better understand your health concerns.

If you have previous records that relate to the reason for your appointment, having them available may help your provider understand your medical history and avoid unnecessary duplication.

Our team can advise you about what information may be useful for your specific visit.

In many situations, having a trusted family member or caregiver present can help you remember important information and discuss your medical history.
