Welcome To The Paragon Heart Group

The staff of The Paragon Heart Group believes you deserve the newest and best technology the scientific world offers. We also believe that this technology should be administered by the most ancient medical technology of all, warm and caring hands.

With those two thoughts in mind, we have created a website to assist you in finding your own path to heart health and a long and worthwhile life. This site will help you improve both your understanding and your sense of empowerment. Real people, just like you, will share their stories and inspire you to take charge of your own body.

Please take the time to explore, learn and begin to create a new you. We hope you leave the site feeling you have found new friends and partners to assist you in reaching the goals you have set for your life. None of us will live forever, but all of us should live every day we are given, to the fullest. Your goals will be our goals. We will take this journey with you. We will earn your respect by respecting you. If that is the sort of health care you were hoping for but thought you would never find, welcome to Paragon.

My Mission

From the time I was a young boy, in whatever I did, I wanted to be the best possible. That has always been my approach to life. So I named my practice Paragon, fully intending for it to be a model of excellence in cardiovascular healthcare delivery.

Now, the more I interact with patients, the more I'm drawn into this vocation. I enjoy talking to them and learning from them. Because sometimes you think you’ve done it all, until you sit down and listen to an elderly patient who truly has done it all.

Our patients have invested their trust in us and in turn, we have invested in making their medical experience a personalized event. For example, we don’t close our office for lunch, so patients who don't want to miss work can come in on their lunch hour. We are also able to perform testing in our office. No need to run about making separate appointments.

My patients believe in me and trust in me. That's why I work so hard to be the best. I feel that I owe it to them.
