How We Help You Lower Your Cholesterol and Protect Your Heart
Lowering cholesterol starts with knowing your numbers, understanding your risks, and creating a plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
Our cholesterol specialists use blood work, preventive care, and ongoing follow-ups to help you protect your heart.
Cholesterol Testing & Lipid Panels
We use blood work and lipid panels to check your total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and other markers that help us understand your heart health.
Cardiovascular Risk Assessments
We review your cholesterol levels, blood pressure, family history, lifestyle, medications, and other risk factors to better understand your chances of heart disease or stroke.
Diet & Lifestyle Guidance
We help you make realistic changes to your eating habits, activity level, weight, and daily routines that can support healthier cholesterol levels.
Cholesterol Medication Management
If you need medication to manage your cholesterol, our providers can recommend, adjust, or monitor cholesterol-lowering prescriptions based on your labs, side effects, and health goals.
Follow-Up Testing & Ongoing Monitoring
We use follow-up blood work, annual wellness exams, and regular check-ins to track your progress and adjust your care plan as your cholesterol levels change.

Questions We Hear From Patients Like You
What cholesterol level is considered too high?
A total cholesterol level above 200 mg/dL may be considered high, but your provider will also look at your LDL, HDL, triglycerides, age, medical history, and heart disease risk.
Can I lower my cholesterol without medication?
Some people may be able to lower cholesterol levels with changes to diet, exercise, weight, smoking habits, and other lifestyle factors.
If lifestyle changes aren’t enough, our providers can talk with you about medication options.
When is medication necessary for high cholesterol?
We may recommend medication if your cholesterol is very high, your LDL remains elevated, or you have other risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking history, or a higher risk of heart disease or stroke.
We’ll review your labs and medical history before recommending the right next step.
How often should I have my cholesterol checked?
This depends on your age, risk factors, medical history, medications, and past results.
Our providers can recommend a testing schedule that’s right for you.
