Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care
What is aortic insufficiency?
Aortic insufficiency occurs when the aortic valve leaks, allowing blood to flow backward into the heart, which can strain the left ventricle.
Who is at risk?
Individuals with a history of high blood pressure, heart valve disease, endocarditis, or connective tissue disorders are at higher risk.
What symptoms indicate a need for evaluation?
Shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, palpitations, and swelling of ankles or feet may indicate valve dysfunction.
How is the condition diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically includes physical examination, echocardiography, and sometimes advanced imaging to assess valve leakage severity.
Can mobile visits detect aortic insufficiency?
Mobile providers can assess symptoms and perform preliminary evaluations, but echocardiography may be required for definitive diagnosis.
What treatments are available?
Treatment may include medications for blood pressure or heart function, close monitoring, or referral for valve repair or replacement if severe.
Is the condition dangerous?
Untreated aortic insufficiency can lead to heart failure and other complications. Early evaluation improves outcomes.
Will insurance cover evaluation?
Most major insurance plans are accepted. Staff can help verify coverage and provide self-pay options if needed.
Can children develop aortic insufficiency?
Yes, congenital valve defects can cause aortic insufficiency in children, but it is more common in adults with valve degeneration.
How are follow-up visits managed?
Follow-up includes repeat assessments, imaging, and ongoing management of symptoms and cardiac function.
Are virtual consultations helpful?
Telehealth can be used for initial symptom evaluation and guidance, but imaging requires in-person assessment.
