Philosophy:
The Lipoprotein and Metabolic Disorders Institute (LMDI), PLLC is a clinical, educational and research organization that addresses the complexities of lipid (cholesterol and triglyceride) and lipoprotein (carriers of cholesterol and triglyceride) disorders. The clinical mission of this practice is to provide a center of excellence for comprehensive evaluation and management of genetic and acquired disorders affecting patients of all ages.
Early detection of cardiovascular disease can lead to powerful preventive measures, including lifestyle modification and medical therapy. Using state of the art diagnostic and therapeutic measures we can help create individualized, integrated care plans designed to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, both now and in the future.
