I’m seeking recommendations for a cardiologist. Specifically one who takes a holistic approach to care that includes exercise and nutrition as part of their care plans.
Sarah Speck, the most excellent cardiologist in Seattle! After many years at Swedish, she started her own clinic, focusing on preventative measures: health, nutrition, exercise, etc. I have seen many cardiologists over the years and she is definitely the best, far and above. http://www.doctorspeck.com/home/
Are you seeking a cardiologist on your own initiative or do you have a primary care physician who has recommended that you see one for evaluation or treatment of a particular cardiac condition? There is quite a bit of specialization within cardiology so it can save some time and expense to go directly to one with expertise in the relevant area of concern.
If you’re willing to drive to Swedish Cherry Hill, I highly recommend Peter Casterella as a primary cardiologist. I have been under the care of cardiologists for the last 30 years in the U.S. and overseas and he and his office team is one of the best. I recently had heart surgery at Swedish Heart & Vascular, performed by Eric Lehr and can also highly recommend that surgical team if you need surgical recommendations. Good luck and good health to you.
