Where Medicine Is Personal
Sonal Chandra is a board-certified cardiologist with over 20 years of experience in cardiovascular medicine. She takes a thorough and practical approach to heart health. Recommendations are grounded in evidence, tailored to your cardiovascular risk, and delivered with clear reasoning and next steps you can follow.
"I start by understanding your history and risk profile, then look closely at the lifestyle and cardiometabolic factors that influence heart health. My goal is to recommend what's appropriate, explain the reasoning clearly, and create a plan you can follow."
Her clinical interests include women's cardiovascular health, preventive cardiology, cardiovascular risk assessment and cardiac imaging with an emphasis on identifying risk early and tailoring care to each patient.

Our Mission
Care by Design
Recommendations are grounded in evidence, tailored to your cardiovascular risk, and delivered with clear reasoning and next steps you can follow.
Compassionate Care
Attentive care that respects your history, priorities, and day-to-day life—delivered with professionalism and empathy.
Clinical Rigor
Evidence-based cardiology applied thoughtfully to your individual risk profile, grounded in current guidelines and ongoing learning.
Depth
We take the time to review your history and prior testing, look for key details, and build a plan based on the full picture and not a single-visit snapshot.
Continuity
Prevention is iterative. We track progress, reassess data over time, and refine recommendations as your physiology, health status, and goals change.
