High blood pressure care at home
A blood pressure taken after a stressful drive and twenty minutes in a waiting room is not your blood pressure. Home readings are a better guide, and treating the wrong number in either direction causes real harm.
Getting the number right
We check your own monitor against ours, show you how to use it properly, and set up a simple record. White coat hypertension leads to overtreatment, and overtreatment in older adults causes dizziness, falls and fractures.
Adjusting treatment safely
We check blood pressure sitting and standing, because a drop on standing is the thing that puts people on the floor. Kidney function and electrolytes are monitored when medication changes, with the blood drawn at your table.
Where we do this
We visit homes across all six counties. Pick yours: Morris County, Essex County, Union County, Somerset County, Passaic County, Bergen County. Or see every town we cover and call 973-607-4911.

Should I use my own blood pressure monitor?
Yes, and we will check it against ours and show you how to get a reliable reading.
Is a lower number always better?
No. In older adults, pushing too low causes dizziness and falls. The right target depends on the person.
