Welcome to Cardiology at Springfield Clinic

Minimize

 

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Fortunately, we can help. Springfield Clinic Cardiology combines friendly and compassionate cardiac physicians with state-of-the-art technology tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient we serve. 

Our mission is to build healthy relationships with our patients and our top goals include: 

  • provide the best care possible to those affected by cardiac conditions 
  • work with patients to prevent heart disease through testing, education and lifestyle changes. Through such changes, patients not only reduce their risk for heart attack and cardiovascular disease, but experience fewer associated risks of stroke, diabetes and some cancers
  • offer resources that can help patients live a healthier lifestyle

We make access to great cardiac care easier and more convenient for our patients. As part of Springfield Clinic, each patient's record is accessible through a comprehensive Electronic Health Record (EHR) System, so care can be coordinated with other physicians and local hospitals. 

For patient convenience, Springfield Clinic doctors provide services at both Memorial Medical Center and St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, Illinois. In addition, many of our specialists are active participants in the Specialty Outreach Program and offer expert cardiac care and treatment in many medical offices and hospitals throughout the region.

Springfield Clinic Cardiologists treat a wide variety of cardiac conditions including, but not limited to: 

  • Coronary Artery Disease
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Congestive Heart Failure
  • Cardiac Arrhythmias
  • Hypertension
  • Hyperlipidemia
  • Valvular Heart Disease
  • Peripheral Vascular Disease
