VO2 Max, the Ferrari of Heart Health: Dr. Hakeem of RiverRock Medical on Concierge Medicine and Cutting Edge Cardiopulmonary Metabolic Testing

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in medical and urology care and the best urology humor out there.

In this segment, Donna Lee is joined by friend of the practice, Dr. Zain Hakeem of RiverRock Medical Clinic. Dr. Hakeem offers a concierge-style primary care practice where patients pay a membership fee for exceptional, performance-based medical care. Today, Donna Lee and Dr. Hakeem discuss one of the differences between insurance-driven vs. patient-driven health care: access to innovative and cutting edge medicine. Dr. Hakeem explains the VO2 Max, a cardiopulmonary metabolic test recognized by the American Heart Association as the best predictor of cardiac function, fitness and likelihood of developing cardiac disease--better than diabetic status, cholesterol, or smoking status. Because it isn't covered by insurance, the VO2 Max is not widely offered outside of medical research facilities, but for $200 at RiverRock Medical, you can access this state-of-the-art testing and the critically important information it gathers on your heart health! If you or someone you love is concerned with their cardiopulmonary status or would just like to learn more about performance-driven, concierge-style primary care, give Dr. Hakeem a call today at (512) 213-0700, email him at z@riverrockmedical.com, or visit his awesome website at riverrockmedical.com.
