Welcome to California Cardiovascular Institute

Dear Valued Patient,

Welcome to the California Cardiovascular Institute (CCI). We are honored to partner with you on your healthcare journey.
At CCI, our philosophy is simple yet powerful: we empower patients to take control of their health through education, compassionate care, and unwavering support.
We believe in a whole-body approach, recognizing that the heart is a vital part of the entire body.
Our mission is to provide you with the highest quality cardiovascular care while helping you lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.

We are committed to making your experience smooth, supportive, and centered around your needs.
Please review the following important information to help prepare for your care with us.

Your First Visit

Cardiac Consultation and EKG: Your first appointment will consist of a comprehensive cardiac consultation with one of our board-certified cardiologists, as well as an electrocardiogram (EKG). During this visit, your provider will determine what additional testing, if any, is necessary. Any additional testing will be scheduled for a later date.

Continuity of Care: Your initial consultation will always be with a physician. For your follow-up appointments, to ensure timely and continuous care, you may see one of our highly trained nurse practitioners (NPs). Please be aware that all of our physicians participate in hospital call rotations at local hospitals. In the event your physician is called away for an emergency, another cardiologist or NP from our team may see you to prevent any disruption to your care.

Before You Arrive

  • Arrival Time: Please arrive 10 minutes early to your first appointment. This allows ample time to complete any required new patient paperwork.
  • Identification and Insurance Cards: To protect you and help prevent fraud, bring your current insurance cards and a valid ID to every visit, even if you are a returning patient.
  • Medications: Always bring your current medication bottles or, at minimum, a detailed medication list with you to every appointment. This ensures your medical records are accurate and up to date.
  • Surgery Clearances: If you require surgical clearance, please be aware that clearance appointments may require additional testing as determined by your physician.

Navigating Our Facility

CCI has two entrances and two separate check-in areas:

  • Cardiology Side: For all cardiology consultations and office appointments.
  • Imaging Side: For testing such as echocardiograms, stress tests, and vascular imaging.

Please make sure you check in at the appropriate location based on the nature of your visit. If you are unsure, feel free to ask our front office staff for assistance.
