Finding the Right Heart Care in Central Texas

When chest pain hits during a family barbecue in Glen Rose, or you find yourself winded climbing the courthouse steps in Granbury, finding a cardiologist near you shouldn’t mean a two-hour drive to Dallas or Fort Worth for quality cardiac care.

Heart disease remains one of the top causes of death in Texas, according to the CDC. In smaller communities, the stakes feel higher — long drives for care, questions about what’s urgent, and worries about what can wait.

The truth is: you don’t have to wait for an emergency. Knowing when to see a cardiologist, what they actually do, and which local options are available can help alleviate the fear and uncertainty surrounding heart care.
