Transparent Process
What happens from first call to full recovery.
01
Referral & First Contact
Your GP noticed something — an irregular rhythm, a murmur, a result that deserves a second look. You don't need to arrive with answers. You only need to arrive. Our intake team takes about twelve minutes on the phone to understand your history and get you scheduled.
Most patients see a cardiologist within 5 business days of referral.
02
Diagnostic Imaging
We use echocardiography, stress testing, and where needed, coronary CT angiography — the kind of imaging that shows us not just whether your heart is beating, but how well every chamber is doing its job. A technician walks you through each scan as it happens.
Results reviewed by a board-certified cardiologist within 24 hours.
03
Your Consultation
You sit across from your cardiologist — not a nurse practitioner reading from a screen — and they explain your results in plain language. If something needs attention, they tell you what it is, what it means, and exactly what comes next. No vague "we'll keep an eye on it."
Consultations average 35 minutes. Never rushed.
04
Intervention When Needed
For patients who need catheterization, stent placement, or ablation, we perform procedures in our accredited cardiac catheterization lab. The same cardiologist who reviewed your scans and answered your questions is the one threading the catheter.
Over 2,400 interventional procedures performed since 2018.
05
Cardiac Rehabilitation
After a procedure — or after a diagnosis that changes how you move through your days — our rehabilitation team builds a structured, supervised program around your life. The goal isn't just medical recovery. It's handing you back the stairs you stopped climbing.
Structured 12-week rehab program with measurable milestones.

Patient Stories
The people behind the numbers.

I'd been winded carrying groceries for six months. My GP said it was probably stress. Dr. Osei found a 70% blockage in my LAD on the first visit. I had a stent placed that Thursday. I carried my own bags at Thanksgiving.

My father's echocardiogram report used words I had to Google at midnight. When I called Pulse the next morning, someone actually explained what moderate mitral regurgitation means in plain English. That call alone was worth everything.

After my first stent I saw three cardiologists in two years and never felt like they actually read my chart. Dr. Nakamura spent forty minutes with me on the first consultation. He found the arrhythmia my previous doctors had attributed to anxiety.
