About
At The Heart Center for Women, Dr. Caitlin Giesler delivers specialized cardiovascular care built entirely around female physiology. She brings more than fifteen years of Austin practice experience to this direct-pay cardiology model. Her focus addresses the ways women's hearts differ from men's, and how the medical system often overlooks those differences.
Dr. Giesler treats female-specific conditions including Microvascular Disease, Endothelial Dysfunction, Vasospasm, MINOCA/ANOCA, and Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. She also guides women through menopause-related cardiovascular changes and atrial fibrillation management. Every new patient begins with a thorough two-visit consultation. From there, Dr. Giesler offers three tiers of ongoing care, from periodic reassessment to the Comprehensive Heart Partnership, which includes unlimited visits and next-day availability. The practice operates on a direct-pay model. Insurance continues to cover testing, imaging, and treatments ordered through the practice.
