ABOUT THE PRACTICE

Cardiovascular Specialists of Sarasota is a full-service cardiovascular practice where patients are seen Monday thru Friday and all testing is performed and interpreted in the office. Testing includes nuclear stress testing and treadmill stress testing for diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, echocardiography for diagnosis and treatment of congestive heart failure and valvular heart disease, Holter monitoring and 30-day ambulatory telemetry monitoring for diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias. In addition, all aspects of vascular ultrasound are performed including carotid, abdominal, renal, and lower extremity arterial and venous duplex scanning for assessment and treatment of peripheral vascular disease.

Dr. Barron came to Sarasota in 2000 joining the largest cardiovascular group in town at the time but has been a solo practitioner since 2016. He takes great pride in giving his patients the most individualized care possible. He does not utilize mid-level practitioners so every patient in the practice will be seen by him. In addition, he rounds on every one of his hospitalized patients 7 days a week in the hospital assuring that each of his patients is evaluated and treated by their own cardiologist who knows them best. Dr. Barron strives to identify and help implement lifestyle changes to further improve the quality of life of his patients.
