Welcome to HeartPlace

Rick Snyder, M.D., F.A.C.C.

President of HeartPlace

Founded in 1967, HeartPlace is the largest independent cardiovascular group in North Texas. From its small beginning in Dallas, HeartPlace has grown to more than 60 physicians throughout Dallas-Fort Worth. During this time, HeartPlace has been an innovator in the delivery of cardiovascular care to North Texas. It has also been among the first to offer procedures, including coronary and vascular angiography, angioplasty, and stenting. In addition, HeartPlace physicians have been on the cutting edge in advancements in heart failure, valvular heart disease, electrophysiology, and cardiac imaging. This dedication to innovative tools, techniques, and procedures has guaranteed patients the latest and most up-to-date cardiovascular services available.

With more than 30 clinic locations throughout North Texas, HeartPlace physicians serve over 40 acute care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation hospitals. As a result, the practice has developed strong ties to the local medical establishment and the community at large.

As an example of its commitment to high-quality, low-cost outpatient care, HeartPlace offers the use of two state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical centers. Located in Bedford, Plano and Dallas, Medfinity Health ASCs offers a COVID-free outpatient environment where patients can safely receive their elective procedural care. These relationships have allowed HeartPlace physicians to provide comprehensive cardiovascular care throughout the area with the utmost attention to quality and compassionate care. Your HeartPlace physician is dedicated to leading-edge technology for the prevention, early detection, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, many HeartPlace physicians continue to advance the field of cardiology with ongoing research and participation on national committees and organizations. A commitment to quality includes board certification of physicians and accreditation of imaging centers.

HeartPlace prides itself on being able to deliver quality, compassionate care delivered with excellent patient service, from simple cases—such as blood pressure management—to complicated procedures, including robotic surgery or cardiac transplantation.

HeartPlace physicians are consistently mentioned among the best in Texas. Providing the highest level of care for you and your loved ones remains the No. 1 goal.
