Advanced Heart & Medical Center - T. Anthony Don Michael, MD, Inc.

Clinical Professor of Medicine, UCLA, President, AHMC

The Advanced Heart and Medical Center, specializing in cardiology and weight loss, with a special emphasis on prevention, is based in Bakersfield, California, and is under the direction of T. Anthony Don Michael, M.D. Established in the year 2000, this center is unique and has specialized in:

  • Non-invasive cardiovascular testing and stroke testing.
  • Bariatric medicine (weight loss).
  • Relevant internal medicine problems related to the above (co-morbidities).
  • Referral to the best centers for interventional cardiology and bariatric surgery.

We have developed a specialized concept of detecting, preventing and treating heart disease using the most advanced non-invasive techniques. The bariatric program is intimately linked to the prevention and treatment of excessive weight: heart disease, strokes, hypertension, diabetes, skeletal disorders, gastroesopheageal reflux disease (GERD), asthma and allergies, sleep apnea as well as cancer.

Dr. T. Anthony Don Michael specializes in bariatrics (weight loss) and the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions, including angina, hypertension (high blood pressure), peripheral vascular diseases, and stroke. He is certified in internal medicine, cardiology, and bariatrics. He is convinced that more, not less, time should be spent by doctors with patients; and that less, not more, drugs are important. Dr. Don Michael deals with all internal medicine issues related to cardiology and weight loss.

Mission Statement:
Prevention is more effective than treatment.
Treat all persons as family.
