Isaac Thomas, MD, FACC is the medical director of Heart and Vascular Center of Lake County.  Dr. Thomas's philosophy reflects the center's strong commitment to quality patient care.  "My cardiology practice is the culmination of a lifetime of passionate dedication to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all types of adult heart disease.  With a special interest in technology, I have developed and utilize a state of the art cardiovascular diagnostic procedure laboratory in my office.  I believe that accurate and timely diagnosis in a caring and patient focused atmosphere promotes trust and builds a mutually cooperative physician/patient relationship.  This accomplishes the goals of restoring health, quality of life, and prevents future compromises to health."

        "An exciting aspect of cardiovascular disease is the vast preventative medicine modalities on the horizon.  This practice is firmly committed to promoting heart healthy lifestyles through extensive patient education programs.  Our Lipid Clinic, Hypertension Clinic and Congestive Heart Failure Clinic are all focused on helping patients achieve attainable goals toward lifestyle modification and improved quality of life.  Helping people strive for accountability of their own health is a challenging but most gratifying aspect of practicing medicine."

Our cardiologist team is board-certified and share a strong team commitment to providing quality holistic patient care. Dr. Samendra Chandel joined us in July of 2001.

As a team oriented practice, we emphasize friendly personal care while employing cutting edge diagnostic technology.
