Heart Rhythm Care for Culver City Patients
Culver City patients can reach CEPI by heading north on La Cienega or Robertson Boulevard to the medical towers on West 3rd Street.
Getting to our office from Culver City
From Culver City, our office is a fairly direct trip north. La Cienega Boulevard runs from the Hayden Tract area all the way up past the I-10 and Olympic Boulevard to West 3rd Street. Our office is in the Cedars-Sinai Medical Office Towers at 8631 West 3rd Street, Suite 710E, in the East Tower on the 7th floor.
From downtown Culver City, near the Culver Steps and the Kirk Douglas Theatre, many patients take Venice Boulevard or Washington Boulevard east, then turn north on Robertson Boulevard. Robertson climbs through Beverlywood and Pico-Robertson and crosses Wilshire before reaching 3rd Street.
If you live in Fox Hills, Blair Hills or near Sony Pictures Studios, the I-10 is another option: get on eastbound or westbound as needed and exit at La Cienega or Robertson. Depending on traffic, the surface route is sometimes just as quick. Call (310) 746-5335 if you would like help planning your first trip.
Why Culver City patients come to see us
Fainting and near-fainting
Fainting has many causes, and most are not related to the heart rhythm. When the heart is the cause, though, it matters to find out. If you have fainted without warning, during exercise or while lying down, an electrophysiologist can help sort out why. Our guide on fainting when it is the heart explains the warning signs.
If you faint and are injured, or have chest pain or trouble breathing, call 911.
Finding a rhythm that hides
Some rhythm problems happen only once a month or less. A short ECG at the office will often miss them. A small implantable loop recorder can watch your heart for a long time and capture an event when it happens, so your physician can match it to your symptoms.
Care that respects your time
Culver City has plenty of people working at the studios, in tech offices along the Hayden Tract and in local schools. We keep visits focused and explain results clearly, so you can make decisions without extra trips.
Testing that answers a clear question
We order tests to answer a specific question, not by habit. If your symptoms are frequent, a short wearable monitor may be enough. If they are rare, a longer monitor or an implanted recorder may make more sense. In some cases, an electrophysiology study is the clearest way to see how the heart’s wiring behaves.
Your physician explains why each test is suggested and what it might show. When the results come back, the same doctor walks you through them, so you are never left trying to read a report on your own in Culver City wondering what it means.
Questions about CEPI for Culver City residents
Which route usually works from Culver City?
Most patients use La Cienega Boulevard or Robertson Boulevard north to West 3rd Street. The I-10 is another option. Which is quicker depends on traffic at the time you travel.
Should I see a cardiologist or an electrophysiologist?
A general cardiologist treats many heart conditions. An electrophysiologist focuses on the heart’s electrical system and rhythm. Our guide on electrophysiologist vs cardiologist explains the difference.
How do I share my test results with you?
You can bring copies to your visit, or ask your other doctors to send them to our office before you come. Having your ECGs and monitor reports helps us make the most of your first appointment.
Will I need a procedure?
Not necessarily. Many rhythm problems are managed with monitoring, lifestyle changes or medicine. We recommend a procedure only when it fits your heart and your goals, and only after explaining why.
