Our physicians regularly present their knowledge and expertise through local and national lectures. Our staff benefits from this leadership, which in turn gives patients the advantages of a capable team experience which decreases complications and reduces hospital stays.

Our highly-trained staff of cardiologists, nurses, and technicians can tailor your program to meet insurance company plans. They work closely with the primary care physicians and employers to develop optimum, full-service benefits at an affordable cost, including:

Amarillo Heart Group utilizes the most advanced equipment available in performing non-invasive studies. This state-of-the-art technology includes a wide range of ultrasound services which enables us to examine the heart and important blood vessels of the body.

For patients who are unable to exercise on a treadmill, we can still utilize these sophisticated nuclear or ultrasound studies by evaluating the effects of intravenous medications which simulate exercise while the patient lies on his/her back.

Patients can complete all of the non-invasive testing needed in the office without having to go to the hospital outpatient department.

The foundation of Amarillo Heart Group rests upon our ability to provide comprehensive cardiovascular care for our patients.
