As a cardiologist, Dr. Rick Gaines enjoys being able to treat his patients at
every level, from the prevention of illness to stopping disease progression
to managing the symptoms. He is particularly interested in using noninvasive
testing and advanced imaging to determine customized
treatments for each patient. He works with the TriHealth cardiac CT
program, which uses CT imaging to rapidly obtain 3-D images of the
heart. This cutting-edge technology can be used to detect and assess
a number of heart conditions, as well as plan and evaluate treatment
options.
Dr. Gaines treats adults with diseases of the cardiovascular system,
including coronary and valvular heart disease, congestive heart failure
and cardiomyopathies. He is specially trained in the interpretation of
heart imaging and personally reviews the results with his patients. With
a patient-centric approach, Dr. Gaines works with his patients and their
families so they can fully understand their conditions and treatment plans.
He encourages everyone to be engaged in their health care and make
every day a healthy day.
Married to a native Cincinnatian, Dr. Gaines enjoys spending time with
his family. He also leads an active lifestyle with gardening, skiing and rock
climbing.
