Cardiovascular Health Assessments

Are you at risk of a heart attack or stroke?

Do these run in your family, for reasons you are not sure?

Heart disease and stroke remain the leading causes of death in the US. The major risk factor is elevated cholesterol. Dr Thomas White has many years of experience and expertise in this field, and was one of the first physicians in North Carolina to earn the certification as a Clinical Lipidologist. We offer basic cholesterol panel testing, as well as advanced testing, checking markers of risk not ordinarily performed in the traditional primary care or cardiology office. For patients and families with a strong history of heart attack or stroke, we offer genetic testing to help explain their history, and help individuals assess their risk and take appropriate preventive action. We are able in most cases to offer such testing at affordable cash-based pricing.
