Next-Day Appointments

How It Works

We’re making it easier than ever to start your care journey. Our Cardiology team now offers appointments within 24 hours, Monday through Friday, because timely care can make all the difference.

We want everyone to have access, but not everyone needs to be seen the next day. Call our Access Center at (937) 884-1115 to talk with one of our triage staff or nurses, and discuss your symptoms and appointment options.

What to Expect

During your initial consultation, we will review your symptoms, family history, and any testing you have already done. From there, we will order any additional testing to complete at your convenience. This may include:

• Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA): A special dye and computerized scans are used to produce images that reveal the amount of plaque buildup in your arteries.
• Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI): A kind of imaging that provides a detailed view of your heart, which can tell cardiologists if and where there is heart damage.
• Cardiac stress tests: Electrical, nuclear imaging, or PET (positron emission tomography) scans are used to show how your heart responds to exercise or simulated stress.
• Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiogram or transesophageal echocardiogram): Sound waves are used to examine your heart function.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG): A test that measures heart rhythm and blood flow using electrical signals.
• Nuclear multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan: A scan that produces a computerized image of the heart as it pumps blood.
• Holter monitor: Wearable technology that collects data about your heart for 24 to 48 hours as you go about your daily routine.
• Upright tilt table test: A test that measures blood pressure, pulse, and heart rhythms as a specialist moves your body into various angled positions.

After testing is completed, this will help us create the best treatment plan for you. Follow-up may include a combination of treatment options such as medications, procedures, devices, and lifestyle changes, along with long-term cardiac management to support your ongoing heart health.
