Comprehensive and Convenient Cardiac Care in the Rio Grande Valley

Doctors at the Heart Clinic can help identify your risk of developing heart disease and diagnose any conditions you may already have. If you have heart disease, they’ll help treat it. If you don’t have heart disease, they’ll help you keep it that way.

Our cardiologists and physicians have worked closely with South Texas Health System Heart to help the facility earn recognition by Healthgrades for excellence in cardiac care quality in several categories throughout the years. STHS Heart has been named among the top 10 percent in the nation for cardiology services and coronary interventional procedures for three years in a row (2020-2022).
