What Is a Lipidologist?
A specialist trained to diagnose and treat abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
What to Expect at Your Visit
During your appointment, our provider will review your medical and family history, evaluate prior lab results, and order testing if needed. Some patients may be offered genetic testing via cheek swab or a CT scan to assess risk and guide treatment.
Who Should Visit the Clinic
