When caring for your heart, you want advanced options from a team known for its expertise. And it’s even better when that expert care is nearby. For McKinney-area residents, renowned heart care is available right down the road at Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – McKinney.
Opened five years ago, this location is part of Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Plano*, a nationally recognized leader in quality, research, and service.
The McKinney Heart Hospital extends that commitment into its local community.
“All we do is heart care here in McKinney. When you do just one thing, you get really good at it. That’s what we’re all about — delivering the best care possible,” says Martin Weiss, DO, FACC, medical director of cardiovascular services for Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital — McKinney.
A Team Approach When You Need It Most
At Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – McKinney, time is on your side. Physicians on the medical staff are highly trained in treating and caring for patients experiencing chest pain or a heart attack. Reacting quickly and compassionately, the physicians and staff provide appropriate cardiac care treatment. In addition, Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – McKinney has expanded access to quality heart care in communities throughout North Texas and southern Oklahoma.
And to say their services run the gamut would be an understatement. From prevention to innovative treatments and technology, you’ll receive quality care supported by a system with a reputation for excellence. Specialty areas include noninvasive cardiology, cardiac imaging and testing, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, emergency cardiac care, heart failure care, and more.
At the heart of the hospital is a collaborative team approach. Reacting quickly and with compassion while at the same time effortlessly including specialty doctors for complex cases, they provide guests with appropriate emergency cardiac care treatment.
“We have a close-knit team that works really well together,” Dr. Mustafa Dohadwala said. He is the medical director of electrophysiology at Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital — McKinney. “We have a team approach on difficult cases and get opinions so that we can tailor care to the patient from multiple sides of cardiology.”
Local, Personalized Care
With an onsite catheterization lab, patients have access to angioplasty and stent procedures locally. Unlike traditional heart surgeries that require large incisions in your chest, interventional procedures like these can be performed through small incisions in your groin or wrist using a small tube called a catheter. This allows doctors to diagnose and respond to conditions ranging from aneurysms and atherosclerosis to congestive heart failure.
The hospital provides electrophysiology services, including cardiac mapping technology, for heart rhythm issues such as atrial fibrillation, Long QT syndrome, premature atrial contraction, and more.
The convenient location is also especially important when heart care is needed. If advanced surgery is needed, patients get pre- and post-surgical care in McKinney and streamlined access to surgery in Plano or Denton. The hospital also collaborates to provide outpatient care for advanced heart failure and valve disorders and access to clinical trials.
No matter the need, the team’s personalized approach and commitment to outstanding service make patients and families feel comfortable and confident.
“From the patient rooms to the staff to the facilities, we want to create a less stressful environment for patients and support better healing,” Dr. Weiss added.
Growing With the Community
As the team looks to the future, it’s making plans to evolve along with the McKinney area, including providing even more local access to care.
“We’re continuing to add physicians and increase access to services to meet the needs of the rapid population growth in McKinney,” Dr. Weiss said. “We deliver quality care here so people don’t have to leave our community to get it.” One area of growth is expanding minimally invasive structural heart procedures designed to repair heart conditions without open surgery.
In the end, that’s the goal: keeping people close to home for the heart care they need.
I’m excited to join this exceptional team and be part of the hospital’s continued growth,” says Robert Jay Widmer, MD, PhD, FACC, FSCAI, an interventional and structural cardiologist at Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital — McKinney. “Together, we are dedicated to providing expert care with the latest treatment options, so patients in McKinney can get the best possible heart care right here in their own community.”
