Why an Alliance of Independent Heart-Lung Specialists?

As large, impersonal medical-industrial systems continue to grow, we hear more frequent reports of long waits for appointments and return calls, and short times spent with doctors. We knew that as Independent Heart-Lung physicians, we offered our patients far more reliable experiences, in addition to delivering the best medical
care on the Central Coast.
So we decided to form an Alliance, working more closely together to provide even better care for our patients. We still maintain our independent practices, treating over 4000 patients per month, but we avoid the downsides of bureaucracies that can sometimes get in the way of providing patients with the very best health care.

How do our patients benefit from our Alliance?

Our group of Heart-Lung specialists has so much experience, training and know-how, that when we consult with each other and work together, our expertise is multiplied.
For our patients, it’s the best of both worlds—the competence of a large team of Heart-Lung specialists, combined with the attention and personalized care of a family doctor.
Taking the very best care of our patients is our only focus and we view that as a sacred trust! It’s what attracted us to medicine years ago, and it’s what continues to drive us every day.
Our patients often tell us that we seem to take more time to listen and understand their wants and needs. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
