Most primary care doctors do basic heart exams and prescribe medications. But does your doctor take the extra steps needed to ensure your heart health? If you don’t have an Erickson HealthSM physician, ask yourself if your doctor takes these steps toward your heart health:
• Encourages you to start an exercise program, and works with a Fitness Center he/she knows and trusts to make sure you get a regimen appropriate for your strength and skill.
• Spends at least 25 minutes discussing factors affecting your heart health and offering options for improving it.
• Performs the basic heart diagnostic test, an EKG, right in the office.
It is increasingly rare for most primary care doctors to offer these services. But Erickson HealthSM doctors, who are trained in geriatric care offer this—and more— for their patients regularly.
