About Rotar Cardiac Clinic

At the end of 2020, while the whole world was faced with challenging times of COVID-19 pandemic, the company “Rotar Heart Health Pty Ltd” was created. It was the power of three people, each needing to contribute to the fight against the disease, their family connection and a common idea which brought all together to start a new venture for the provision of essential cardiac services.

On the 9th day of December 2020, Rotar Heart Health was established as a state-of-the-art cardiac diagnostic clinic in Brighton, Melbourne (VIC), combining expertise in cardiology, clinical services, health management, and business. Our clinic uses top of the range, latest medical diagnostic equipment, engineered by General Electric (GE), who continue to support us in providing the latest technological updates as they arise throughout the years. Our practice management and clinical reporting software – HealthTrack – is a leader in the field of cardiology, allowing us to instantly receive diagnostic data from the moment a patient is examined on a machine, report it at any location and share in a secure way with other clinicians, wherever they may be. HealthTrack connects all our diagnostic data with our clinical specialists, administration department as well as referring clinics and allows us to provide results in a most secured, quick, and convenient way, despite lockdowns and government restrictions.

Our team is dedicated in providing outpatient cardiac services for patients in need while putting emphasis on quality of care, professionalism, excellence, and compassion. Our aim is to provide quality cardiac diagnostic services and follow-up management in a timely manner. RHH team of acclaimed Cardiologists, Cardiac Physiologists and Administrators take their time to understand the concerns of patients and their referring physicians to deliver individualized approach and follow-up solutions to each person undergoing their cardiac investigation with us.
