Prevention Services

The Center for Preventive Medicine North Texas offers a variety of advanced diagnostic tests to help determine your risk of disease, so that prevention programs and treatment can begin before symptoms even occur.

Our individual and corporate programs are designed by medical experts and based on the latest medical protocols to help our clients get the most comprehensive understanding of their personal health.

Choose from individual tests and imaging services focused on a specific health concern, or select one of our packages that include an in-depth evaluation of your health status along with valuable personal time with a board certified Cardiologist. All results are completely secure and confidential. We do not release your test results to any third party including insurers or your employer.

Individual Packages

Is time on your side? Do you have a family history of heart disease, stroke or cancer? Or are you adopted and don’t know your family health history? Time can be on “YOUR” side – if you don’t wait to get sick to get healthy.

The Center for Preventive Medicine® offers state-of-the-art screenings that predict, diagnose and monitor health problems earlier, when they are most treatable.

Using Multidetector Computed Tomography or MDCT, we are able to see inside your body, into areas that cannot be visualized by standard x-ray examinations. The results allow an earlier and more precise diagnosis.

The testing and diagnostics performed at our Center are simple, painless and affordable. There’s no referral necessary. No hospital visit. No anesthesia. No catheterization. It’s a totally non-invasive procedure that will provide you with the knowledge you need to improve the quality and longevity of your life.

And, you won’t have to wait for answers. Your results are provided immediately. You can then choose to tailor a care management program with your own personal physician or, if necessary, we can team you with a physician right next door at the Cardiac Center of Texas.

An appointment with The Center of Preventive Medicine might be the one doctor’s visit that saves your life.
