I have reviewed this medical practice several times and I have nothing to change. I just like being treated by Dr. J Ros. He has great ‘bedside’ manner with office visits. He knows how to treat any problem I have brought to him. He never hesitates to refer me to a specialist if he feels I would benefit more. He is very reassuring and I leave there feeling someone does care!

I can't say enough about this practice other than they are one of the most professional, knowledgeable and caring medical offices that I have ever dealt with. I give the highest praise to my PA, Dana Barber who has treated me for several years, always patient, and thorough. Her nurses Winfield and Porsha are absolutely wonderful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our heart doctor employs an EKG, an ECHO, and the Holter device to monitor heart health.
Doctors can assess the heart’s electrical activity through an EKG. They can also use an echocardiogram or ECHO, a non-invasive ultrasound scan that produces a moving image of the heart and nearby blood vessels. And finally, the Holter monitor is a portable device that records the heart’s electrical activity for typically 12 to 48 hours. The patient wears this electrocardiogram while going about their daily routine.
If you have a list of symptoms that match you with potential heart disease worries, please call or email us for a consultation with our heart specialist in Jacksonville.
Chronic conditions like heart disease may require monthly monitoring. If needed, we can set up follow-up meetings that fit your schedule. Coastal Carolina Internal Medicine PA recommends coming in at least once a year for an annual exam for heart health.
The timeline for addressing uncomfortable symptoms depends on the patient and the severity of their symptoms. When treating a patient with heart disease, our team may address pain management and ways to ease symptoms such as shortness of breath or extreme fatigue. The duration for patients to experience improvements in their heart disease symptoms will vary.
When you come in for an appointment to see our heart specialist, we will discuss any symptoms you might experience and explore what we can do to help you feel better and maintain your health. Although we accept most insurance, the cost of treatment can only be determined after a detailed evaluation and consultation to address your unique requirements.
Making some adjustments to your lifestyle can help support a healthy heart. Doctors recommend a diet low in saturated fats and regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight. They advocate for managing cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure, as well as avoiding smoking and stress.
