Our Care Teams

Announcing Our New Care Teams 

Care Teams are becoming more and more the standard of care in specialty and primary care practices across the country. And for good reason: patients love having more than one provider who understands their needs and cardiac health and they work extremely well. The old adage, "two sets of eyes are better than one" might come to mind.

Care Teams at Pioneer Valley Cardiology include your primary cardiologist, an Advanced Practice Provider (APP), and Medical Assistant. Pioneer Valley Cardiology has implemented this care model and the results have been excellent. Our patients have improved access to their cardiologists, especially when it really matters.

Your cardiologist has hand-picked their partner in caring for you. The APP's at Pioneer Valley Cardiology are highly skilled, cardiac-trained, APP clinicians who work in tandem with your assigned cardiologist. After every appointment with your APP, your care and visit is reviewed by your MD and discussed within your care team. This approach ensures that you are receiving the excellent care you're accustomed to. 

Patients will see their APP for routine follow up after hospitalization, for triage visits and as part of your routine care. Every effort is made to schedule patients with their primary cardiologist once per year.

Ask to meet your APP at your next visit if you haven't yet!
