CARE FROM THE HEART

Cardiovascular Associates of Lake County has made strides to become one of the premier providers of cardiac care in Lake County and in Central Florida.

Founded by Dr. J. Henry Lesmes in 1992, the practice bears a legacy of innovation, longevity, and consistency that patients value.

“As one of the oldest private cardiology practices in the region, our group has stood as a pillar in the medical community for more than 20 years,” says Dr. Samuel Goss, an invasive cardiologist with Cardiovascular Associates.

The practice’s team of board-certified physicians uses state-of-the-art methods to diagnose a wide range of cardiac and vascular diseases. The practice also brings cutting-edge services to its patients. Cardiovascular Associates brought the first electrophysiology (EP) physician to the area, Dr. Miguel Bryce. Dr. Lesmes was the first physician to perform a trans esophageal echocardiogram (TEE) at Florida Hospital Waterman.

Dr. Alejandro Caballero-Lopez, interventional cardiologist with Cardiovascular Associates, was one of Lake County’s ﬁrst physicians to perform peripheral interventions, aortic aneurism repairs, carotid stenting, and pacemaker placements. And in 2011, Cardiovascular Associates brought the ﬁrst cardiac PET to Lake County.

The outstanding team can provide comprehensive care for any heart and vascular condition and also maintains privileges at several area hospitals.

Individually, the highly trained cardiologists of Cardiovascular Associates possess unique capabilities that keep them on the cutting edge of advanced heart medicine. Collectively, they maintain a strong sense of camaraderie that assists in giving patients a full continuum of care.

“We have a team approach,” Dr. Goss says. “We strive to provide a relaxing, friendly, and inviting ofﬁce environment so our patients always feel comfortable.”

Strong partnerships, gracious professionalism, innovative technology and service with compassion are just a few of Cardiovascular Associates’ core standards. Over the years, these standards have helped make Cardiovascular Associates the place where employees want to work, physicians want to practice, and patients want to receive cardiac care.
