    Dr. Peter Teng is a general cardiologist who has cared for patients with all types of heart conditions and issues for more than 15 years. He has a special interest in using CT imaging in coronary care and was among the first cardiologists in San Francisco to adopt coronary CT angiography for his patients, having helped establish a CT imaging program in 2007. In addition to noninvasive imaging of arteries of the heart, Teng performs routine cardiac catheterization (a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure in which a long, thin tube called a catheter is inserted into an accessible blood vessel – such as one in the groin or wrist – and threaded up to the heart). He also specializes in echocardiography (using ultrasound to capture images inside the heart and the valves attached to it), cardiac nuclear perfusion studies (a type of stress test using imaging that shows the blood throughout the heart before and after exercise) and pacemaker implantation and maintenance. In research, Teng studies the ways atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) begins and worsens, as well as methods used to better understand the signal pathways within blood vessel cell walls. He also studies the factors involved in the creation of clots in the heart that may lead to stroke. Teng earned his medical degree at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. At New York – Presbyterian Hospital, he completed a residency in internal medicine, followed by a research fellowship focused on atherosclerosis, then a fellowship in cardiology at Stanford Health Care. He is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology. A New York native, Teng comes from a family of educators, which has fueled his natural inclination to educate his patients and help train and mentor residents and students.

    What is the definition of Arterial Embolism?

    Arterial embolism refers to a clot (embolus) that has come from another part of the body and causes a sudden interruption of blood flow to an organ or body part.

    When should I see an Arterial Embolism doctor near San Francisco, CA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Arterial Embolism doctor near San Francisco, CA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Arterial Embolism doctors near San Francisco, CA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Arterial Embolism doctors near San Francisco, CA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Arterial Embolism doctor near San Francisco, CA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Arterial Embolism doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Arterial Embolism doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Arterial Embolism doctor near San Francisco, CA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Arterial Embolism doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Arterial Embolism doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Arterial Embolism doctors near San Francisco, CA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Arterial Embolism doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Arterial Embolism doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Arterial Embolism doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
