Overview

Cholesterol management is a long game, it's about steadily lowering your cardiovascular risk over years, not fixing a single number. Continuity with one provider helps make it easier to track trends in your labs and adjust course before small issues become bigger ones.

How ongoing primary care can help

Your provider will review your lipid panel, family history, and other risk factors to help determine whether medication, lifestyle changes, or both make sense, and will order follow-up labs to track your progress over time.

Frequently asked questions

Can high cholesterol management really be managed over telehealth?
In many cases, yes. A primary care provider can evaluate your symptoms and history over video, review any recent labs, and help adjust your treatment plan when appropriate. For some chronic conditions, especially if they are uncontrolled, our providers may need to collect/complete vital signs, physical exams, lab tests, or imaging which requires an in person visit. Our providers will help you take the next step.
Do I need to keep seeing the same provider?
Continuity helps, as seeing the same provider over time means they already know your history and current plan, which usually means faster, more informed visits.
What if I need to be seen in person?
If your provider determines your condition needs an in-person exam, testing, or treatment they can't provide virtually, they'll let you know and help direct you to the right next step.
