For referring clinicians

Specialty access that protects the referring relationship.

Our goal is timely evaluation, clear communication, and coordinated longitudinal care for patients with complex cardiovascular questions.

01

Clear clinical question

Start with the reason for referral and the decision that needs clarification.

02

Focused review

Prior imaging and records are reviewed when available and relevant.

03

Coordinated next step

The referring clinician remains part of the patient’s longitudinal care.
