Every effort will be made to keep your appointment as scheduled.

First Appointment

Your appointment will begin by visiting with a member of our nursing staff prior to being seen by your cardiologist. This will include a history and physical examination emphasizing the  cardiovascular system, which is your heart and blood vessels. The first appointment will also include an electrocardiogram (EKG) to measure your heart’s electrical activity. You may also need a chest x-ray. All of these procedures will assist your cardiologist in determining your heart’s overall health. Any additional diagnostic tests that may be necessary will be thoroughly discussed with you.

Follow-Up Visit

Appointments will be scheduled as needed to evaluate your progress, health management, and to monitor any new cardiac conditions. For medical concerns unrelated to your cardiovascular system, please contact your primary care physician.

Nursing Staff

Your Telephone Calls are Important

All calls are directed to our main office switchboard. During regular office hours, your telephone call will be returned by our staff as soon as possible. When you call, please provide specific information to our telephone operator so we can respond effectively.

Prescriptions

Prescriptions are based on your current medical conditions and treatments. When you call our main office regarding a prescription, please provide the name of your medication, the dosage, and the telephone number of your pharmacy. Since our staff will need to review your medication records, please make your refill requests two to three days in advance during regular office hours. Please contact your primary care physician for non-cardiac prescription refills.

Medical Records

Your medical chart at Cardiology Associates contains confidential and comprehensive information that is used by your cardiologist during each visit. These records include laboratory and operative results, hospital summaries, physician-to-physician correspondence, notes from previous

appointments, and other relevant information. You may request a copy or transfer of your medical

records during regular office hours by signing a release form. Records will be mailed within one

to two weeks.

Emergency Care

Every second counts in a medical emergency involving your heart. Day or night, we are here if you need us. In the event of an emergency, please call us immediately at 

  • (361)888-8271
  • (800)451-4738 – Toll Free

After regular office hours, our exchange answers emergency calls from our main telephone number and then notifies Cardiology Associates’ physicians.

Hospital Care

As a personal comfort to you, a Cardiology Associates’ physician is accessible seven days a

week at any of the primary Corpus Christi hospitals. Consequently, to ensure fast and efficient care, you may be seen first by any one of our physicians who is assigned at that hospital. Your cardiologist will be notified as soon as possible.

Physician Referrals

Most patients are referred to Cardiology Associates by other physicians. If your insurance company requires a physician referral letter to file your insurance claim, you will need to bring this letter from the referring physician to each appointment with us. As part of your continuity of care, your primary care physician will be consulted and kept informed of your progress.
