am late sending out the newsletter but not to worry! All clinics, speakers, etc., are not for another week or so - so plenty of time to schedule and plan.

February is our "Heart Month"! We are pleased and proud to present top, local cardiologists covering various topics as you will see below. These are all at no charge so I urge you take advantage of these platicas.

We have had a fair amount of "no-shows" at our clinics. Needless to say, this really causes problems for not only our physicians but as well, I usually have a waiting list from folks who want to attend, but the clinic is full. Please do remember to contact us to cancel should you have an appointment and then not be able to attend. Gracias!
