What other doctors say
“Dr. Alo possesses a wealth of information regarding cardiovascular disease, lipids and prevention. He's able to present complex information in a concise and easy to understand way for patients and physicians alike. Even though I am a cardiologist, I do not treat myself, and I found his counsel to be invaluable.”
Matthew Phillips, MD, FACC
Austin Heart Emeritus. Past President of the Texas Chapter of the American College of Cardiology
“As physicians, we don't like to treat ourselves. This is especially true in cardiology. If I have cardiology questions, I ask Dr. Alo. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.”
Abeer Berry, DO, FACC
Preventive and invasive cardiologist, Michigan
“There is something here for everyone from patients to individuals keen to learn more, as well as healthcare professionals. In short, this book should be on your wish list this year.”
