The IHS Device Management Clinic is a team of specially trained nurses that works closely and collaboratively with doctors to provide care to patients with Implanted Cardiac Devices such as pacemakers, internal cardiac defibrillators (sometimes referred to as ICD), and implantable loop recorders. Care is provided both in the Electrophysiology office and at home using remote home monitoring technology.
The IHS Device Management Clinic staff utilizes the latest technology to ensure that patients with Cardiac Implanted Devices receive the appropriate treatment based on their individual needs. The device management team will work collaboratively with your physician to ensure you are receiving seamless care and will ensure proper open lines of communication among all providers.
Anyone can make an appointment simply by calling the office. You do not need a doctor’s referral. You will be asked a few simple questions when scheduling. The office has early morning and afternoon appointments five days a week.
