Cardiology
You will find many heart experts under one roof here at Saddleback Medical Group. Our physicians work together to offer our patients the latest in cardiovascular care - everything from highly advanced imaging that can create intricate pictures of just what is wrong with a diseased heart, to leading-edge techniques in minimally-invasive surgery that can have you out of the hospital and back home sooner than you think.
When you're a patient here, you'll be treated like one of the family. From making sure you find your way to your next appointment, to educating you about your heart, to assessing your family's risk for heart disease, we do our best to make your experience as our patient as easy and comfortable as possible. Here at Saddleback Medical Group, we treat the whole patient--not just the disease.
External Counterpulsation (ECP) Therapy
We now offer External Counterpulsation (ECP) Therapy. ECP relieves angina, or chest pain, without surgery. ECP is an exciting option for those people who have had, or are not good candidates for bypass surgery or angioplasty. Consult your cardiologist to see if ECP is right for you.
