At-Home Heart & Vascular Testing in Walnut Creek
Getting a heart or vascular test in Walnut Creek usually means waiting weeks for an appointment, then finding parking and losing a morning at a hospital imaging department. Imagine Echo comes to you instead. Our certified sonographers perform the exam in your home, with every study read by a board-certified cardiologist and results in 24-48 hours.
