Rate and Review General K. Hilliard, MD, FACC

Office Tour

I am a cardiologist specializing in diseases of the heart and blood vessels. This includes cholesterol abnormalities, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and sleep disorder breathing. My office provides individual care for patients as well as hospital care in the East Bay hospitals. Our staff provide personalized care to all patients, except for emergencies. Care on weekends is provided by competent Cardiologist with whom I share call. One of my medical interests is clinical research on new Pharmaceuticals, monitored by the FDA. Recent awareness of the association between sleep disorder breathing and heart disease triggered my involvement and development of an overnight sleep facility.
