Heart health is one of the most important parts of long-term wellness. Many cardiovascular concerns can develop silently over time, often before obvious symptoms appear. That is why prevention, early detection, and personalized risk assessment are essential.
At Lafferty Family Care, our heart health and prevention services are designed to help patients better understand their cardiovascular risk and take proactive steps toward protecting their health. We look beyond basic numbers and use advanced testing, risk evaluation, and personalized care recommendations when appropriate.
Led by Dr. Scott Lafferty, who is certified in heart attack prevention through the Bale Doneen Method, our approach focuses on identifying potential risk factors early and creating a plan designed around your individual health profile.

CIMT testing evaluates the carotid arteries and may provide additional insight into cardiovascular risk. It can be part of a proactive prevention conversation when appropriate.
Cholesterol numbers are only part of the heart health story.
We use CIMT results alongside health history, labs, and risk factors to help guide a more informed prevention plan.
Cardiac prevention assessments help patients better understand their risk profile by looking at history, labs, metabolic markers, lifestyle, and advanced testing when appropriate.
Many patients do not know their cardiovascular risk until a problem becomes urgent.
We help patients move from guessing to understanding by creating a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk and prevention options.
Advanced lipid testing can provide a more detailed look at cholesterol particles and related markers. This may help guide a more personalized conversation about cardiovascular prevention.
Standard cholesterol numbers may not tell the whole story.
We help patients understand lipid results in the context of the full health picture, including family history, metabolic health, and risk factors.
Advanced metabolic markers can help evaluate blood sugar, insulin resistance, inflammation, and related factors that may influence cardiovascular risk and overall wellness.
