As a network of community-based clinics, we can perform several services and tests in our offices. When you need care outside of our clinic, we provide around-the-clock coverage at our Surgery Center and select UAB St. Vincent’s locations (East, Saint Clair, and Blount). We offer the following tests and advanced diagnostics:

Electrocardiogram (EKG) and Echocardiogram

Measures the heart’s electrical activity to detect arrhythmias or heart damage.
