Looking for a Good Doctor in Columbus, Ohio?


I live in Columbus and have a family history of severe heart disease (all men dead by 50) and the females get it as well. How do I find a good doctor who is willing to do the cutting edge blood tests (lipids) to determine my cardiac risk? I am talking about the VAP Test, Lipo-A, CRP, etc etc? Most doctors are not on board yet and I am looking for a one who will be preventive in this disease.

Hey there...thot I would try to help....
