CONCIERGE COMPREHENSIVE CARE SERVICES (CCCS)
Our comprehensive care service was started a few years ago. We decided this is the only way we can keep the standards our patients deserve. We were also limited by insurance guidelines for testing. Testing was only allowed after a disease was diagnosed, but not for prevention. For example: carotid ultrasound after a stroke has occurred. We perform yearly screening tests in patients using echocardiogram and vascular ultrasounds and treat early on to prevent disease progress.
The vascular ultrasounds available are carotid Doppler, lower extremity arterial Doppler, and abdominal aorta to evaluate patients for peripheral vascular disease. Our venous studies check for blood clots and venous insufficiency.
In urgent cases, we schedule same day or next day in office or video/audio appointments dictated by the nature of the patient’s problem. We are very active in coordinating your care and appointments with other physicians, offices, and labs. Our CCSS will also allow us to spend more time managing your heart, health, and general wellness.
McLean Cardiology offers different packages to fit the patients individual needs:
