Dr. DeoNarine has enjoyed practicing as an independent cardiologist for 26 years in Vero Beach and he is pleased and as of January 1st, 2024, he will be adding Concierge Cardiology Care to the Practice.
Dr. DeoNarine believes that he is blessed to live in a unique and special place in Vero. He has been able to provide the type of small town care everyone has grown accustomed to over the years, away from the “corporate medicine” model.
He envisions concierge cardiovascular care as a way of continuing to provide high quality, personalized care. In the past 26 years of practice, he realized that prevention of disease is more beneficial than treating the disease once it takes hold. One of his rules as a physician is to educate his patients on how to maintain good health and wellness.
Dr. DeoNarine believes effectively educating his patients includes getting to know them. Exploring the patient's lifestyle with some of the following questions helps to provide them with the personalized care he values:
- Are they exercising 150 minutes a week per AHA (American Heart Association ) recommendations and if not, why? What are the obstacles?
- Are they aware that the Mediterranean diet is an anti-inflammatory diet and recommended for patients with coronary artery disease or the DASH diet for hypertension?
- Are they sleeping well and if not, why? Could the lack of sleep be due to sleep apnea?
- Are they aware of the effects that hypertension and atrial fibrillation have on the cardiovascular system?
- How much alcohol are they consuming and do they know that it may make treating hypertension and losing weight more difficult?
- Do they know the health benefits of meditation, yoga, or Tai chi?
Unfortunately, the current model of medicine does not allow time for, nor place emphasis on these important issues. Dr. DeoNarine's goal as a concierge cardiologist is to focus on cardiovascular wellness. He wants to spend more time with his patients to make sure they are educated on these topics and much more. He looks forward to having like-minded patients join the concierge practice.
Dr. DeoNarine's team strives to continue to provide excellent care to all patients. In keeping with this, he is pleased to announce the addition of Lori May, APRN - C, a board-certified adult nurse practitioner who has been practicing advanced Cardiology since 2007. Learn more about Lori.
