Cardiology
Your heart is a muscle. And it’s also your lifeline. At Leon Medical Centers, we want your heart to be as healthy and strong as possible. Count on us to be here when it needs help to heal. After all, your heart deserves the best care.
From high blood pressure to heart disease, we use the latest technology to diagnose and treat conditions — and we do it all while caring for you with compassion and respect. Most of the expert contracted specialists are board certified cardiology doctors that are here to help you with “personal attention at all times.”
Our contracted team of cardiologists, provide bilingual service in English and Spanish. This makes it easier for you and your family to understand your diagnosis and treatment plan in the language that’s most natural to each of you.
Free Transportation and Fast Appointments
Taking care of your heart means lowering stress. Our free transportation takes the hassle and worry out of deciding how to get to your doctor. When you choose, we can pick you up at home and take you back in comfortable buses with friendly drivers.
After your primary care doctor makes a referral, you can usually see a cardiology doctor in a timely manner. If you have an urgent need, our cardiology specialists can see you the very same day.
