Whole Heart Cardiology

Whole Heart Cardiology offers two ongoing care options. The first is a membership with two tiers of access depending on care needs. The second is an a-la-carte model, which currently operates on a waitlist. New patients can start with an initial consultation at a one-time a-la-carte fee, and Dr. Harkin applies that fee toward membership if the patient decides to enroll.

Dr. Harkin is an out-of-network provider for all insurance plans. The practice does not accept insurance for visits or membership fees. However, Whole Heart Cardiology provides superbills upon request so patients can seek reimbursement from their insurer directly. The practice also accepts FSA and HSA funds.

No. Dr. Harkin has opted out of Medicare. Patients with Medicare coverage pay directly for their care and may request a superbill for their records.

Initial consultations run 50 minutes. Follow-up appointments come in two formats: 30-minute brief visits and 60-minute extended visits. Both in-person and telemedicine options exist for follow-ups.

Yes. Dr. Harkin offers telemedicine visits for patients in California, New York, and Florida. In-person appointments take place at the San Francisco office at 2100 Webster Street, Suite 329.

The Complete Heart Assessment is a comprehensive, one-time cardiovascular screening option. It includes an EKG, advanced laboratory work, cardiopulmonary exercise stress test with VO2 max, carotid ultrasound, coronary artery calcium score or CT angiogram with Cleerly AI analysis, and an InBody body composition scan. Dr. Harkin delivers results in a dedicated one-hour consultation.

Prospective patients should contact the practice directly by email or phone to request a new patient appointment. Dr. Harkin currently accepts a limited number of new patients. The a-la-carte model also maintains a waitlist for those who prefer that option.
