In a specialty where patients’ lives literally depend on the care they receive, Dr. Scott Davis at Arkansas Cardiology in Little Rock said his practice consistent­ly focuses on putting the patient first while maintainin­g the highestqua­lity cardiovasc­ular care in the state.

“Not only is it important to provide highqualit­y cardiovasc­ular care, but it is also important to provide it in a timely fashion,” Davis said. ‘We strive to get patients seen as immediatel­y as possible to address their cardiovasc­ular needs as quickly and as efficientl­y as we can.”

Davis has once again been named Best Cardiologi­st by readers of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in its Best of the Best competitio­n.

“I have been fortunate to win Best Cardiologi­st several times in a row now,” Davis said. “I hate to admit I’m this old, but I think the first time was back in 2004! …

“It is always an honor to be recognized in your field, but the success of our clinic lies in a wonderful staff that goes out of their way to care for patients in a meaningful way.”

Davis then expounded on the details of that approach: “In trying to keep the priority of our patients at the forefront, we always want to treat each patient as though they were one of our family, but that doesn’t always mean we take the most aggressive approach. We try to tailor our treatment regimen to the immediate needs of each individual and not by some formula.”

And that distinctio­n has helped determine the practice’s philosophy.

“Our mission at Arkansas Cardiology has always been to put the patient first …,” Davis said. “This philosophy is embraced by each of our staff.”

Davis said the clinic also strives to raise awareness about heart disease, which could involve discussing heart disease on television, recruiting volunteers for the American Heart Associatio­n Heart Walk or participat­ing in a community health fair.

He said Arkansas Cardiology has always been on the cutting edge of the latest technologi­es and developmen­ts in cardiovasc­ular disease.

“Whether it’s new treatments for rhythm problems, percutaneo­us valve procedures or new stent techniques, we have a solid group of cardiologi­sts who are at the top of their field,” he said.

“For as much is I am intrigued by the latest technology, it is still all about the relationsh­ip with the patient,” Davis said. ‘I enjoy getting to know each of my patients personally and finding out not just about their heart issues, but also about them and their families.”
