Dr. Eric Thorn has a particular clinical interest in prevention, wellness, and weight loss. He believes that real food based nutrition, physical fitness, and a balanced lifestyle are the cornerstones of cardiovascular prevention. Through healthy living combined with strategic and appropriate use of diagnostic technology, medications, and more invasive procedures, he helps his patients achieve optimal cardiovascular health.
“My approach to care starts with being a careful listener,” says Dr. Thorn. “I make a point to consider my patients’ entire health and life circumstances since cardiovascular disease and risk for cardiovascular disease do not occur in isolation.”
