Atrial Fibrillation care at home in Passaic County

Atrial fibrillation is common, often silent, and a well recognised cause of stroke. Most of managing it well is unglamorous: the right rate, the right anticoagulation decision, and someone actually watching.

Managing atrial fibrillation without the trips to an office

We cover Passaic County from Wayne and the Route 23 corridor through Clifton and Paterson to Totowa, Little Falls and Hawthorne.

A clinician comes to your home anywhere in Passaic County with a portable exam kit and your chart already open. Visits run 45 to 60 minutes, which is the time it takes to examine you properly, review every medication in the house and write a plan your family can follow. Whether you are looking for a house call doctor, a visiting physician or in-home medical care for a senior parent in Passaic County, this is that service.

Rate, rhythm and how you feel

We check your pulse and blood pressure properly at each visit, run a twelve lead EKG at home when it is needed, and ask about the symptoms that matter: breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, tiredness that is new.

The anticoagulation conversation

Blood thinners reduce stroke risk substantially and raise bleeding risk. That trade-off deserves a real conversation, weighed against your own falls history, your kidney function and what matters to you. We have it in your living room, with your family there if you want them.

If you are on warfarin, INR can be checked at home. We also look for the practical things that quietly cause harm: an over the counter anti-inflammatory taken for a sore knee, or a supplement nobody mentioned.

After a hospital stay in Passaic

If you have recently been discharged from St. Joseph's University Medical Center in Paterson or Chilton Medical Center in Pequannock, we can usually visit within two to three days to reconcile the discharge medication list against what is actually in the house. We are independent and not affiliated with any hospital system.
