Meet Our Heart Center Team

The Quad Cities' leading heart center team is at UnityPoint Health – Trinity. You have access to highly skilled heart experts, including specialties that are not widely available in the region. We work with an experienced and caring staff to tailor care to your needs.

Most heart doctors have completed advanced training through fellowships. All of them use leading methods for diagnosing and treating heart disease, so you receive the services that are right for you. We hold ourselves to the highest care standards, giving you the best chances for excellent results.

Cardiology

Cardiologists who partner with Trinity are among the best in the area and deliver a full range of services to support your heart health.

Areas of expertise include:

• Interventional cardiology: These specialists diagnose and treat heart problems using long, flexible tubes (catheters) and tiny instruments. Find out more about cardiac catheterization.
• Noninvasive testing: Doctors assess cardiovascular problems using instruments and technologies that do not touch your heart directly. Examples include nuclear imaging scans and stress testing. Get more information about heart tests.
• Electrophysiology: These specialized cardiologists evaluate arrhythmias, problems affecting the heart's electrical system.

Cardiac Surgeons

Trinity is home to experienced cardiac surgeons, one of whom is a permanent member of our staff. This close relationship makes it easier to collaborate on complex cases, like valve replacements. We offer hybrid procedures that combine the expertise of interventional cardiologists and surgeons when necessary. Explore open-heart surgery.

Cardiac surgeons belong to Cardiac Surgery Associates (CSA), a group committed to cardiovascular surgery excellence. Our long-standing relationship with CSA and their surgeons' experience helps more people achieve their heart health goals.
