Welcome

Cardiovascular Consultants of South Florida continues to grow with the addition of two cardiologists in our Aventura office. We are pleased to welcome Richard Pollak, MD, and Gary Donshik, MD, who have practiced in the Aventura area for many years. In advance of their joining our practice, we have added office space, digital X-ray, and nuclear stress testing to our list of offerings.

As a group we are focusing our efforts on expanding preventive services to our patients. In the very near future we will open a 64-slice computed tomography (CT) center in Hollywood. This center will allow us to bring cutting-edge technology to our patients and community. It will enable us to screen low- and medium-risk patients for coronary artery disease, perform peripheral vascular disease assessment and calcium scoring, and monitor coronary artery disease progress over time with state-of-the art technology. In addition, we have already embraced advanced lipid testing, but we also plan to focus our attention on diet, nutrition, and exercise.

February is American Heart Month, and we are hosting a series of educational lectures on heart disease prevention for our patients. Please feel free to come and join us to learn how to keep your heart healthy, or recommend the series to friends and loved ones.

We thank all of our sponsors for making this publication possible, and we hope everyone finds this issue informative and interesting.


Happy holidays,

Judah Friedman
