Dr. Elena Marsh
“Most people leave a cardiology visit with more questions than they came in with. I opened this practice to change that.”
Dr. Marsh is a board-certified cardiologist with eighteen years of practice, the last eleven at a university heart centre, where she led the outpatient prevention clinic. Her focus is the long view: catching heart disease early, and helping patients who already live with it stay active.
She speaks English and Spanish, and still keeps Thursday afternoons for patients who need a longer visit.

Which insurance do you accept?
Medicare and most major PPO plans, including Aetna, Blue Shield, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage changes often, so we confirm yours before the first visit.
What should I bring?

How long will the first visit take?
About an hour. If an echocardiogram is ordered and we have room that day, add another 45 minutes.
