Frequently Asked Questions
Receiving a diagnosis of a structural heart disease can be overwhelming. Our team aims to provide you with as much information and time to ask questions as possible. Due to the complexity of these conditions and procedures associated with them please allow for 1-2 hours for your appointment. We recommend bringing a family member or friend who can be a “second set of ears” for you. Consultation appointments typically consist of three parts:
- Lab/EKG: this part of the appointment allows our medical assistants enough time to complete necessary paperwork and testing with you, as well as checking your vital signs and medication list.
- Provider visit: during this time, you will meet with one of our structural heart specialists to discuss your diagnosis, review imaging and go over recommendations moving forward.
- Nurse visit: at the end of your visit based on what was recommended one of the nurse clinicians will come in to wrap up your visit, finish explaining any testing/procedures ordered and make sure you understand what to expect next. We always send patients home with a packet of information to ensure you have documents to reference at home.
The Southdale Hospital structural heart team sees patients for consultation at the M Health Fairview Heart Care Clinic (France Ave South Suite W200, Edina, MN, 55435). Testing, procedures, and imaging are all completed at this location.
We offer Valet parking at Door 2 or you may self-park in the Skyway Ramp located on the corner of 65th and France.
