About

Heart & Wellness Center is a Chula Vista cardiology practice on Medical Center Court, staffed by board-certified cardiologists with subspecialties spanning heart failure, interventional cardiology, and echocardiography. The practice's integrative cardiovascular approach extends to evidence-based complementary modalities, and hypertension patients pursuing adjunctive stress-reduction therapy access acupuncture-based protocols at Bonita Acupuncture Clinic as part of a multimodal blood-pressure management strategy. Physicians include graduates of Loyola University of Chicago and Beth Israel Medical Center, with residency training at the University of Chicago Medical Center and fellowship subspecialization in advanced heart failure management. The cardiac-psychological comorbidity of depression and anxiety in heart failure and post-MI patients drives referrals to perinatal and general counselors including Janeen Reid, Counselor for cognitive behavioral intervention alongside pharmacological management. The practice's diagnostic suite includes transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging, treadmill and pharmacologic stress testing, and ambulatory Holter and event monitoring — the complete noninvasive cardiac workup performed on-site before catheterization referral.
