“I used to have chest pains that were so bad I couldn’t walk, eat, or sleep. I truly thought I was going to die. My doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong, but then I found Buena Park Heart center and started having EECP therapy. Since then, the pain has not returned. This is the best medical center I have visited. Dr. Caceres is one of the best doctors I have ever met in my life. I’m so honored to be his patient. The staff at the facility is also top-notch. I would highly recommend BPHC to anyone in need of cardiac care. A big thank you to Dr. Caceres and the staff for their hard work and for caring so much about their patients.”

“Before doing EECP therapy, I noticed that I would feel tired throughout the day, and I can’t explain how much my chest would bother me. When I wanted to exercise, I couldn’t, because I would start having shortness of breath. My palpitations were at such a fast rate that I resorted to sleeping in a sitting position. My blood pressure was also unstable. There would be times when it was high, and then suddenly it would be very low. I knew I had to do something to improve my health. When Dr. Caceres suggested that I do EECP therapy, I decided to give it a try, and I am so glad I did. Dr. Caceres, his wonderful therapists, and their amazing equipment all helped me more than I can say. Now I can exercise without any hassle. My shortness of breath went away and my palpitations are under control. Also my blood pressure tends to be more stable and I can sleep comfortably lying down. ”

“I’ve just finished my 2nd course of EECP therapy. This cycle was much better than my first time at another clinic. The difference was in the technician. Calvin is a wonderful guy who does his job very well. He was always kind and made me feel totally at home. He walked me through the therapy and made sure I was always aware of what was going on. He’s a keeper. The rest of the staff are also so warm and kind. I don’t know how you got so lucky! Angie is really great with her patients and always goes out of her way to make sure patients are comfortable and happy.
As for me, my brain has been working better since my EECP therapy! I no longer need to take naps all the time, and I’m driving better. Thank you so much, Dr. Caceres.”

I feel truly blessed to have found Dr. Caceres and EECP therapy. The staff at the clinic are very kind and attentive, and I would recommend it to all my friends and family.“

“I am currently 65-years-old and have suffered from heart conditions since 2001. I underwent medical treatment, coronary angioplasty with stents, and ICD. But it was not until I received EECP therapy that I have I noticed an improvement in my overall wellbeing. I now do maintenance EECP sessions periodically, which keeps me out of the cardiac catheterization lab. Dr. Caceres is a wonderful physician—very professional and compassionate toward his patients. The entire staff at Buena Park Heart Center is very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend EECP therapy at BPHC.”
– Mark Gibson

Dr. Caceres is a great cardiologist and very well-mannered. He works in the best interest of the patient.
Buena Park Heart Center’s EECP therapists are helpful, friendly, and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend EECP therapy at Buena Park Heart Center to anyone in need of cardiac care.

Manny Lopez had diabetes and heart disease and underwent triple bypass surgery in 2003. Before EECP, he complained of chest discomfort (5/10) while doing household chores. Manny was very compliant in taking medications as prescribed. His daily living activities were highly limited because of angina, fatigue, and a general lack of energy. He used to have lower back pain and take two naps a day.
“I’d get out of my car and have to stop for a minute before I could walk to the stairs,” he told us. “And then when I got halfway up the stairs, I’d have to stop again before I could continue on to my apartment on the second floor.”
After EECP, Manny reported that his chest discomfort on exertion went away. He no longer had to ask his neighbors to help him carry grocery bags up to his apartment. Today, Manny feels good and his energy level has improved greatly. He is able to do more activities than before without becoming fatigued. He no longer needs to take naps, and he sleeps well at night. His lower back pain also disappeared after a week of EECP therapy.
Manny reported the following:
“I used to have lots of swelling in my legs and feet. That has completely disappeared. It seems like I’m not retaining as much water as I used to. My blood pressure has lowered as well. But the biggest difference for me was that my erectile dysfunction improved. To put it simply, I have the drive to do it.
I was a bit skeptical at first. I didn’t see how a pumping action on my legs would improve anything. But I remembered that Dr. Caceres said it would take a couple of weeks for the effects to kick in, so I waited. Now, I’m glad I gave it a shot and listened to the doc!
Before EECP, I could hardly walk half a block because of chest pain and shortness of breath. I’d have to stop and take nitroglycerin. Now, I can walk six blocks without chest pain or shortness of breath, and I don’t have to use nitroglycerin”

EECP Changed My Life for the Better!
My name is Steve Ezell. I had angina pectoris on minimal exertion in 2008. My coronary angiogram revealed severe coronary artery disease, so I underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. In 2012, I was feeling more fatigue than usual and more shortness of breath while performing everyday activities. I had angina pectoris on exertion and equivalent angina. A PET scan showed reversible perfusion defect in the inferior and septal walls.
I didn’t want to have another coronary angiogram, or angioplasty, or another heart surgery, so I decided to try EECP therapy.
Before EECP. I felt tired to the point where I could hardly finish my work. I would take breaks while making the 15 step walk up to my door, because of angina. I was unable to walk ½ mile a day or ride my bike without becoming out of breath and/or having angina. I had very little energy and felt tired most of the time.
Since having EECP, I’m able to work 8 hours a day without feeling tired. I walk up the 15 steps to my front door without any trouble. I’m also able to walk 2-3 miles per day and ride my bike for 5-6 miles every day without angina. I have more energy and feel so much better. On weekends, I ride my bike up and down the hills near my home for up to 15 miles without feeling tired or becoming out of breath.
Last year, I witnessed the birth of my first grandchild, and just last month we got our first ever annual pass to Disneyland. We go there on average three times a week, and walk several miles over the course of many hours with my granddaughter. I attribute my ability to do this to the EECP therapy. Without a doubt, EECP therapy has improved my heart condition, endurance, and physical capacity. I have not taken nitroglycerin in over 2 years.
Lastly, before EECP I was unable to do anything on hot days. Last Saturday was a very hot day, but I was able to spend five hours at the ballpark and then walk around the Long Beach Farmers Market for an additional hour without any angina or fatigue. I’m also able to sleep all the way through the night thanks to EECP.”

My name is Peter Moskowitz. I am 71 years old, with several risk factors for coronary artery disease. I have had chronic angina pectoris since 2005, but was mistakenly treated for acid reflux instead. In April of 2010, I underwent coronary arteriography which revealed significant coronary artery disease. My cardiologist and a cardiovascular surgeon recommended coronary artery bypass surgery. I was told that my condition was so severe that I could die at any moment, and that I should go home and make an appointment with the surgeon.
I got a second opinion from another cardiologist and another surgeon who told me I have “widowmaker” coronary artery disease and need bypass surgery as soon as possible. Even my two physician sons advised me to have coronary bypass surgery. The earliest available surgery date was two weeks away. In the meantime, I investigated the ramifications of having such a major surgery. After learning the potential complications, I canceled the bypass. Eventually, I learned about and decided to have EECP therapy.
Before EECP therapy, I had significant limitations, despite taking medications. For example, I used to take 2 slow-release nitroglycerin tablets a day and nitro spray as needed. Over the last three years, I have received multiple sequential treatments of EECP. Now, I am able to perform most of my daily activities without angina. I exercise almost every day, and I am taking less than one nitro spray per month. I can do my gardening and bend over without any burning sensation on my chest, and I am able to do my house by myself. I no longer take the slow-release nitroglycerin.
