The Science of Preventing Heart Disease
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in America—yet up to 80% of cardiovascular events are preventable. Dr. Sachs is trained in the Bale Doneen Method, a revolutionary approach that identifies and treats the root causes of arterial disease before a heart attack or stroke occurs.
Unlike traditional cardiology that waits for symptoms, this evidence-based methodology uses advanced diagnostics—including intimal media thickness testing, inflammatory biomarkers, and genetic risk profiling—to detect disease in its earliest, most treatable stages.
