Services offered include EKGs, event monitors, echocardiograms, stress testing with and without imaging, vascular ultrasounds, and coronary calcium scoring.
“My philosophy of care is rooted in collaboration,” said Dr. Lyons. “Every patient is unique, and my goal is to work closely with them to create a treatment plan that fits their lifestyle while helping them achieve long-term heart health.”
