Practice
Dr. Surkin's cardiology practice focuses on
health and prevention rather than just a disease. This leads to a strong emphasis on evaluation and management of cardiovascular disease along with prevention and follow-up care.
His approach to patient care can best be described by the following terms - compassionate care, purposeful education, comprehensive thorough evaluation, and integrative therapies.
One of Dr. Surkin's philosophies is to dedicate ample time to each patient to ensure a full consultation. His goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of an individual's heart health. He also allows sufficient time to educate each patient - and their family - about heart disease and lifestyle choices that can help to optimize 'heart health'. He also puts special emphasis on the unique issues that women have with respect to heart disease.
Dr. Surkin knows that heart health can best be achieved by integrating components of care that
focus on risk factor modification, proper diet, exercise, healthy sleep, traditional medical treatment and nutritional supplements. With offices in Greenville and Williamston, Dr. Surkin is conveniently located to serve cardiac patients within a broad geographical area of eastern North Carolina.
