T he Heart Center of North Texas Physicians and Staff are excited about the new location in Weatherford. “It will be a beautiful building with enough room to accommodate our patients. They have been very patient with us in our growth. Our Weatherford location has been growing since 1999. This will make our 5th move. Every time we would get settled in, we would run out of room!” said Sydney Madden, Administrator. Dennis Doan, MD; Abbas Agha, MD; Sydney Madden, RN, CVRN-BC, Administrator, Michael Clark, PA; Lorren Mott, MD; Stephen Newman, MD The Heart Center of North Texas is a thriving Cardiovascular Practice in Fort Worth and Weatherford. The group was established in 1996 when Henry Philen Lobstein, MD and Nasim Akhtar, MD combined their solo practices into one association. Since that time they have grown exponentially to a total of 12 Physicians, 3 mid-level providers and 77 staff members. They offer a full range of cardiovascular services including Preventative, General, Invasive and Electrophysiology/Device. Their main facility is in the hospital district near downtown Fort Worth. They have another fully staffed office in Weatherford. Additionally, to better serve their outer communities they have 5 satellite offices in Stephenville, Granbury, Lake Worth, Burleson, and Alliance. Their providers are often the driving force behind new technology in the area. They work very close with pharmaceutical companies to pioneer new drugs and procedures through clinical trials. “Our patients are the true beneficiaries of our physicians’ drive to continue to educate themselves and to give the best and most current care possible. Our goals are to treat the patients’ immediate cardiovascular issues but to also train and educate the patient to reduce or prevent future hospitalizations or procedures.” The Practice has been rewarded with many quality programs including the “Texas Physician Practice Quality Improvement Award” for 2 years in a row and is recognized in the “Bridges to Excellence” program for the past 4 years. 1017 12th Avenue Fort Worth, TX 76104 817-334-2800
