Effective today, Nov. 4, Metro Health’s Heart and Vascular Holland office will have a new home.

 

The new office location, just around the corner from the previous site, signals the success of the practice which opened in February 2014.

 

The new office is located at 904 S. Washington, Suite 120 in Holland and offer the practice room for future growth of services to meet patient needs.

 

Dr. Rony Gorges is the lead physician at the Heart and Vascular Holland practice.

 

Metro Heart & Vascular Holland offers cardiovascular appointments, as well as diagnostic testing for cardiovascular disease, including peripheral arterial disease, or PAD.  PAD is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries block the blood flow to arms and legs, causing numbness, leg pain, tissue damage and leading to amputation.

 

The hospital has developed a nationally recognized specialty in the treatment of PAD and amputation prevention, last year treating scores of patients from around Michigan, across the country and throughout the world.  Led by Dr. Jihad Mustapha, Metro Heart & Vascular physicians utilize leading-edge technology to clear blockages and restore circulation in even the most challenging of cases.

“We are listening to our patients on the Lakeshore,” said Mike Faas, president and CEO of Metro Health.  “They want to receive health services near their home. Deciding where to locate services is a patient-driven decision designed to make it easy and convenient to experience care.

 

“Having Heart and Vascular practices outside the hospital has also been a satisfier for patients. As word spreads about the successes our physicians have had in treating cardiovascular conditions, we have seen increasing demand for our services. Whenever possible, we want patients to have choice in where they are seen.”

 

Metro Health & Vascular provides a coordinated approach to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, working with patients, coordinating care with their family physician and other specialists and educating family members.

 

Besides Holland, other satellite offices are located in Allegan, downtown Grand Rapids, Greenville and Sheridan.
