Medical Disclaimer

Our website is here to inform and reassure you — but it can never replace personal care from a provider who knows you.

In an emergency, call 911

If you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or any symptom that may be life-threatening, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. Do not use this website, email, or a contact form to report an emergency.

Educational information only

The content on this website — including pages about conditions, procedures, services, and providers — is provided by Austin Cardiovascular Clinic for general educational and informational purposes only. It is written for a broad audience and cannot account for your personal history, medications, test results, or risk factors.

This is not medical advice

Nothing on this website is intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it should never replace a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional who knows you.

Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read here.

No physician-patient relationship

Visiting this website, reading its content, submitting a contact or appointment form, or emailing our office does not create a physician-patient relationship. That relationship begins only after you are evaluated and formally accepted as a patient by one of our licensed providers.

Please consult a qualified provider

  • Talk with your physician or another qualified provider before starting, stopping, or changing any treatment or medication.
  • Bring your questions to your appointment — we welcome them and will take the time to answer.
  • Share your full medication list, prior test results, and family history so recommendations fit your situation.

Individual recommendations require an evaluation

Treatment plans, procedures, imaging, medications, and follow-up intervals described on this website are examples of care we provide — not recommendations for you. Any recommendation for your care requires an in-person or telehealth evaluation by a licensed provider.

Outcomes described here reflect general experience and are not a promise or guarantee of any particular result.

Do not use this website in an emergency

Website forms, email, and the patient portal are not monitored around the clock and must never be used to report an emergency or an urgent change in your condition.

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away if you have chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, fainting, sudden severe headache, weakness or numbness on one side, difficulty speaking, or any symptom that feels serious.

Third-party content

Links to outside organizations, hospital partners, and educational resources are offered for convenience. We do not control that content and are not responsible for its accuracy.
