Whether you’ve been newly diagnosed or have struggled with high cholesterol for years, we provide personalized evaluation and evidence-based treatment tailored to your health goals.
What Is Cholesterol & Why It Matters
Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in the blood. Your body needs some cholesterol to function properly, but when levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) are too high, fatty deposits can build up in artery walls, leading to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and increasing the risk of:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Peripheral artery disease
- Coronary artery disease
Effective cholesterol management helps reduce these risks, protects your heart, and supports overall cardiovascular health.
Who Should Be Screened
Routine cholesterol screening is recommended for the following individuals, as early detection through regular lipid panels allows timely intervention and helps reduce long-term complications:
Adults aged 20 and older
Individuals with a family history of heart disease
Patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity
Those with a history of smoking
Anyone with previous high cholesterol
