Our Approach to Lipid Managment
When you come to our lipid clinic, you get more than a simple prescription for medication. You get a team of partners that checks in with you regularly and tracks your treatment to make sure your numbers are under control and improving.
Our multidisciplinary team of experts includes a clinical lipid specialist, clinical pharmacist and a physician assistant. They work together to monitor your lipid levels routinely and make any changes to your treatment plan if you aren’t meeting your goals. Plus, they coordinate with our nutritionists, exercise physiologists, genetic counselors and other specialists to make sure you’re doing everything you can to stay on target.
Once you’ve successfully reached your goal, we’ll transition you to your primary care physician or your cardiologist for long-term lipid management and care.
