This helps reduce possible errors, whilst providing practitioners with accurate, and robust assessment of your scans.

Meet Our Team
Phanuel Victor
(BHSc (MI), PGDip (Cardiac Ultrasound)
I am a cardiac sonographer, with a focus on adult transthoracic, and stress echocardiography. I trained at Middlemore Hospital, and have worked across multiple hospitals within New Zealand, and overseas.
I began EastEcho Cardiology with a goal of providing an easily accessible, accurate, and reliable cardiac imaging service to the community.
My aim is to work closely with GPs--giving them the ability to manage patients in the primary healthcare setting, or if necessary, refer on to specialists with attached results. This should help reduce wait-lists, hospitalizations, and ultimately provide better outcomes for patients.
