Choosing a physician is about more than finding someone who can treat an immediate medical concern. It is also about finding a practice that takes time to understand your health, identify potential risks and help you make informed decisions for the future. Di Pietro Health is a concierge preventive cardiology and internal medicine practice serving Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding South Florida communities. Led by board-certified physicians, the practice brings preventive cardiology, personalized primary care, women’s health, metabolic testing, medical weight loss and physician-led aesthetic treatments together in one location.

This integrated approach allows patients to address different aspects of their health without treating every concern as a separate issue. Cardiovascular risk, metabolism, hormonal changes, body composition and healthy aging are often closely connected. Evaluating them together can provide a more complete picture of a patient’s health. Whether you are concerned about your heart, navigating perimenopause or menopause, interested in understanding your metabolic health or looking for a more personalized relationship with your physician, Di Pietro Health offers care designed around your individual needs.

Below, we answer some of the most common questions about our physicians, services and approach to patient care.

What Services Does Di Pietro Health Offer?

Di Pietro Health is a concierge preventive cardiology and internal medicine practice in Fort Lauderdale. Our services include:

By offering these services under one roof, our team can consider how cardiovascular health, metabolism, hormones and other factors may be affecting a patient’s overall health and quality of life.

What Is Preventive Cardiology?

Conventional cardiology frequently focuses on diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease after symptoms or complications have developed. Preventive cardiology looks for risk factors earlier, when there may still be opportunities to reduce risk and protect long-term heart health. This may include evaluating blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, family history, lifestyle, physical fitness and other cardiovascular risk indicators. When appropriate, advanced testing can provide additional information about what may be driving an individual patient’s risk. Preventive cardiology is the foundation of our approach at Di Pietro Health. Rather than focusing exclusively on an isolated test result, we consider the patient’s broader cardiovascular and metabolic picture.

What Is Concierge Precision Medicine?

Concierge precision medicine is primary care designed around the individual patient rather than the restrictions of a traditional high-volume medical schedule. Our concierge approach includes longer appointments, direct physician access, in-house laboratory draws and ultrasound capabilities, and proactive tracking of recommended screenings and preventive care. The objective is to make it easier for members to stay on top of their health and reduce the likelihood that an important test, follow-up or risk factor will be overlooked.

We aim to serve as a comprehensive, one-stop medical practice for our concierge members.

Does Di Pietro Health Offer Women’s Cardiology?

Yes. Cardiovascular disease can present differently in women, and certain symptoms or risk factors may be overlooked or misunderstood. Our women’s cardiology services include cardiovascular risk assessment and treatment specifically for women. This includes considering the effect that pregnancy history, perimenopause, menopause and other hormonal transitions may have on cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Women do not need to wait until they experience obvious cardiac symptoms to schedule a cardiovascular evaluation. Preventive assessment may help identify risks earlier and establish a useful baseline for the future.

Do You Treat Perimenopause and Menopause?

Yes. Women’s hormone health is a core service at Di Pietro Health. Our approach addresses common symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause while also considering the cardiovascular and metabolic changes that can accompany hormonal transition. These broader health considerations may not always receive sufficient attention when hormone-related symptoms are evaluated in isolation. Women’s hormone health appointments are available without a concierge membership.

What Is Cardiometabolic Testing?

Cardiometabolic testing provides objective information about how the body produces and uses energy. At Di Pietro Health, cardiometabolic testing includes VO2 max testing and resting metabolic rate testing. VO2 max evaluates cardiorespiratory fitness, while resting metabolic rate measures how much energy the body uses while at rest. Together, these measurements can give patients a more individualized understanding of their cardiovascular fitness and metabolism. Both tests are performed in our Fort Lauderdale office.

What Is VO2 Max Testing?

VO2 max testing measures the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use during physical activity. It is widely regarded as the gold-standard measurement of cardiorespiratory fitness and can provide valuable information about cardiovascular health, exercise capacity and long-term wellness. VO2 max testing may be useful for athletes who want objective performance data, but it is not limited to competitive athletes. It can also help someone establish a cardiovascular fitness baseline, understand their current conditioning or monitor changes over time. Test results should be reviewed within the context of the patient’s medical history, health goals and other relevant findings.

What Cardiac Testing Is Available in the Office?

Di Pietro Health offers several forms of cardiac testing and diagnostic evaluation in its Fort Lauderdale office, including:

Electrocardiograms
Echocardiograms
Holter monitoring
Exercise stress testing
Ultrasound
In-house laboratory draws

Having these services available in the office means that much of a patient’s cardiac evaluation can be completed without sending the patient to multiple outside facilities. For cardiology patients, appropriate in-office diagnostics are included with the visit. The specific tests recommended will depend on the patient’s symptoms, medical history and physician’s assessment.

Does Di Pietro Health Offer Medical Weight Loss?

Yes. Our medical weight-loss program is physician-directed and developed around each patient’s metabolic and cardiovascular health rather than a generic, one-size-fits-all plan. Weight is only one part of the picture. Our physicians also consider factors such as metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, medical history and hormonal changes when evaluating patients. Because the program is overseen within a cardiology and internal medicine practice, the emphasis is on improving the health factors beneath the number on the scale—not simply producing a short-term change in weight.

What Aesthetic Treatments Are Available?

Di Pietro Health offers physician-led aesthetic services in a medical setting. Available treatments include:

Treatments are selected according to the patient’s concerns, health history and aesthetic goals. An individual consultation is necessary to determine whether a particular procedure is appropriate.

Why Does a Cardiology and Internal Medicine Practice Offer Aesthetics?

Healthy aging involves more than treating an individual condition. Metabolic health, hormones, medications, lifestyle and the aging process can all affect how a patient feels and how the skin and hair change over time. Many of our patients already come to Di Pietro Health for metabolic health, hormone care, preventive medicine and longevity-focused care. Aesthetic care is a natural extension of that approach. Providing aesthetic treatments within a physician-led practice also allows the team to consider the patient’s broader medical picture when developing an appropriate treatment plan.

Does Di Pietro Health Offer HydraFacial?

Yes. HydraFacial is a noninvasive treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities and hydrates the skin during a single appointment. It uses a specialized vortex-style tip rather than manual extraction or harsh abrasion. The treatment generally does not require downtime or cause visible peeling, making it a convenient option before an event or during a lunch break. Optional boosters may be recommended according to the patient’s skin type and treatment goals.

What Makes a HydraFacial at Di Pietro Health Different?

At Di Pietro Health, HydraFacial treatments are provided by a licensed esthetician within a physician-led medical practice, with board-certified physicians on site. Hormonal changes, metabolic health, medications and underlying medical conditions can all influence the skin. Because we understand the patient’s broader health picture, aesthetic treatments can become part of a more thoughtful and coordinated plan. Patients receive the recognized HydraFacial technology with the added benefit of a medically supervised environment.

How Long Are Appointments?

Most appointments at Di Pietro Health last approximately 45 minutes to one hour. Our practice does not believe that meaningful medical care should be limited to a five-minute conversation. Longer visits give patients the opportunity to discuss their concerns, understand their test results and ask questions before the appointment ends. The goal is to create a collaborative physician-patient relationship in which patients understand their health and the reasoning behind their care plan.

Who Are the Physicians at Di Pietro Health?

Her work emphasizes preventive cardiology, personalized medicine and comprehensive cardiovascular care. She practices alongside Dr. Stella Elberg, a board-certified family physician with a professional interest in metabolic health and obesity medicine. Patients can learn more about both physicians on the Di Pietro Health Our Team page.
