ADVANCED HEART & MEDICAL CENTER

The Advanced Heart and Medical Center, specializing in cardiology and weight loss, is based in Bakersfield, California, and is under the direction of T. Anthony Don Michael, M.D.

Dr. T. Anthony Don Michael is board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, and bariatrics (medically supervised weight loss). He is the only person in the United States with all three qualifications. A cardiologist is a physician who is certified to treat problems of the cardiovascular system - the heart and arteries of the body.

We have developed a unique concept of detecting, preventing and treating heart disease using the most advanced non-invasive techniques. The bariatric program is intimately linked to the prevention and treatment of excessive weight: heart disease, strokes, hypertension, diabetes, skeletal disorders, gastroesopheageal reflux disease (GERD), asthma and allergies, sleep apnea as well as cancer.

Dr. T. Anthony Don Michael specializes in bariatrics (weight loss) and the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions, including angina, hypertension (high blood pressure), peripheral vascular diseases, and stroke. He is certified in internal medicine, cardiology, and bariatrics. He is convinced that more, not less, time should be spent by doctors with patients; and that less, not more, drugs are important.
