A good cardiology visit begins with a real conversation. We take the time to understand your history and your worries, then explain what we find and what to do about it — so you leave knowing exactly where you stand.
Most of the testing your cardiologist may recommend is performed right in our Plano office — so you can be evaluated quickly, comfortably, and without a separate trip to the hospital.
“Dr. Rao took the time to explain my test results in a way I actually understood. I never felt rushed.”

Answers to what patients ask us most. Still have a question?
Consider a cardiology visit if you have chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, high blood pressure or cholesterol, a family history of heart disease, or an abnormal test result. Your primary care physician may also refer you.
Not always. Many patients schedule directly with us, though some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician. Our team can check your plan when you call.
Your cardiologist reviews your history and symptoms, performs an exam, and may order testing such as an EKG or echocardiogram. You’ll leave with a clear explanation of the findings and a plan.
New patient appointments are often available the same week. Call us and we’ll find a time that works for you.
We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare and the major commercial carriers. If you’re unsure, call our office and we’ll verify your coverage before your visit.
Please bring your insurance card, a photo ID, a list of your current medications, and any recent test results or records from other cardiologists or your primary care physician.
