When it comes to issues with your heart, you want prompt, expert care. That’s why UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute has established same-day cardiovascular consultations for non-urgent heart concerns at UPMC Lititz.
Same Day Cardiovascular Care
During the same-day visit, our team of heart and vascular specialists can review your individual health history, perform a physical exam, order any necessary follow-up diagnostic testing, and establish, if needed, a treatment plan. Need a cardiologist? This is a great way to initiate a new relationship with a cardiologist. “Same-day visits allow our team of heart experts to respond faster than other cardiologists in the area. Rapidly assessing your concerns helps you get back to the things you enjoy,” says Willis Godin, DO, cardiologist with UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute at UPMC Lititz.
