About FHVI

ABOUT FHVI

Independent, Physician-Led Cardiac Care Since 1997

Florida Heart & Vascular Institute was founded in Ocala in 1997 with a clear purpose: to give Florida patients direct access to experienced, board-certified cardiovascular specialists and personalized care outside the complexity of a large hospital system. For nearly three decades, this commitment has shaped how we care for our patients and how we continue to serve communities across Florida.

Today, our physicians and advanced practice providers deliver comprehensive heart and vascular care, from preventive evaluations and diagnostic testing to ongoing disease management and advanced interventional procedures. By bringing consultations, cardiac imaging, stress testing, cardiac monitoring, and specialized cardiovascular services together, we help patients receive coordinated and convenient care throughout their cardiovascular journey.

We believe cardiovascular care should be personal. Our providers take time to understand each patient’s medical history, symptoms, risk factors, test results, and individual needs before recommending a treatment plan. Whether you are seeking your first cardiovascular evaluation, managing a long-term heart condition, or receiving specialized treatment, our goal is to provide clear guidance, personalized attention, and coordinated care at every stage.

Heart Symptoms Deserve Timely Attention

If you’re experiencing chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, or circulation concerns, our cardiovascular team can help evaluate your symptoms and identify the appropriate next step. FHVI offers access to cardiac testing, heart rhythm care, vascular evaluation, and ongoing cardiovascular management across multiple Florida locations.

PATIENT-CENTERED CARE

Care That Starts With Listening to You

At Florida Heart & Vascular Institute, your care begins with understanding you. Our cardiovascular providers take time to discuss your symptoms, medical history, medications, risk factors, and concerns so they can develop a clearer picture of your heart health and individual needs.

When diagnostic testing is appropriate, your provider may recommend tests such as an EKG, echocardiogram, stress test, cardiac monitoring, or other cardiovascular studies based on your condition. Your results and treatment options are explained in clear, understandable language so you can make informed decisions and feel confident about the next steps in your care.

Cardiovascular care often continues beyond a single appointment. Through follow-up visits and ongoing evaluation, our team can monitor changes in your heart health, review your progress, and adjust your care plan when appropriate. Our goal is to provide coordinated, personalized care at every stage of your cardiovascular journey.
