Frequently Asked Questions About Cardiology Care

This FAQ section is designed to answer the most common questions patients have about cardiology care, appointments and heart health. At CARDIO Houston, we believe that clear information helps patients feel confident and prepared when seeking cardiovascular care

This generally depends on your insurance plan. Typically, HMO plans require a referral from your primary care physician (PCP), while PPO plans usually do not require a prior referral.

Appointments can be requested in several ways: by phone at (281) 694-7811, through our website cardiohouston.health
 or by email at appointments@cardiohouston.org
.

Appointments are generally scheduled in advance by our team. However, if a patient requires an urgent evaluation, the patient should contact the doctor directly in advance so the urgent visit can be coordinated.

The duration depends on the complexity of each case, but from check-in to being seen by the doctor, the visit generally lasts approximately 60 minutes.

Please bring a valid ID and any previous medical records, if available.
