Some issues Dr. Sarina Anderske Van Der Zee, MD can help you with:

Heart Problems

The heart is one of the most important organs in the body. This smooth muscle expands and contracts rhythmically an entire lifetime, pumping blood to the lungs and then to every other cell in the body. When heart problems occur, it becomes difficult for the body to get the nutrients and oxygen it needs via the blood. So while there are a variety of illnesses and disorders that affect the heart, most of them cause weakness, exhaustion and shortness of breath. The most common heart conditions include heart disease, angina, arrhythmia, and valve disorders.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women. This includes coronary artery disease, heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and congenital heart disease. Some conditions, such as genetics, cannot be controlled. But there are many other things one can do to lower their risk for heart disease. Controlling high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reducing or stopping smoking, exercising more and losing weight if needed, and eating a diet low in sodium can all protect the heart.

Angina is a squeezing type of chest pain that happens when the muscles around the heart don't get enough oxygen. It can be regular or infrequent. Usually, angina is caused by coronary heart disease. However, not all chest pain is angina. Chest pain can also be caused by a lung infection or panic attack, for example, so it is important to have any sudden pain checked.

Arrhythmia is the word for when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly with skipped beats. It can feel frightening, and depending on the type it can be dangerous, but in most cases arrhythmia is not serious and can be treated. It is very common, especially in older adults.

Heart valve problems can happen in any one of the the heart's four valves that keep blood flowing where it needs to go. Babies can be born with problems in their heart valves, or valves can be damaged by infections. The valves can stiffen and become less mobile, or they can stop closing properly and 'leak' when the heart beats. Valve problems can usually be repaired surgically.

Lung Issues

Every cell in the body requires oxygen to function and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. In order to keep the body's tissues constantly supplied with fresh oxygen and to keep waste from building up, the lungs pump air in and out, even while sleeping or unaware. Unfortunately, diseases and disorders affecting the lungs are some of the most common medical problems afflicting people around the world. Some of the most common lung problems include asthma, COPD, pneumonia, and lung cancer.

Asthma is a chronic disease where swollen, inflamed airways make it hard to breathe. It is often brought on by specific triggers. While asthma is a common condition, affecting millions of people, it can also be serious and even fatal in severe cases. Treatment involves avoiding triggers and using inhaled corticosteroid medications.

COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is the name given to two illnesses that both cause difficulty breathing: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. In emphysema, the air sacs of the lungs become damaged, while with bronchitis they become clogged with mucus. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. It is almost always caused by breathing irritants into the lungs, such as smoking or heavy pollution.

Pneumonia is a lung infection that can be caused by bacteria, a virus, or fungi. Most healthy people recover from pneumonia in a week or two, but for some people pneumonia can be fatal. There are treatments available for pneumonia, but the best treatment is to prevent getting sick in the first place. People who are at risk should make sure they get a flu shot every year. There is also a vaccine available for the type of bacteria that causes pneumonia.

Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells inside the lung grow into a tumor, destroying healthy tissue. Because it is so difficult to detect lung cancer in early stages when it has few symptoms, it is the deadliest form of cancer, responsible for the most cancer deaths both in the U.S. and worldwide. Most lung cancer is caused by exposure to tobacco smoke, but between 10-15% of cases are not linked to smoking.

Some problems with the lungs are minor and are not cause for concern. However if symptoms have lasted for a month or more, even if they are minor, it is worth checking with a healthcare professional. A cough, shortness of breath, or excess mucus production that lingers for weeks are all worth getting looked at.

Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC)

Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a device implantation procedure that reduces the risk of stroke for patients who have atrial fibrillation, a condition in which the heart beats out of rhythm. Atrial fibrillation causes blood to collect in the left atrial appendage, a small sac located in the top left chamber of the heart. The blood that collects in this appendage can form clots and cause stroke when pumped out of the heart.

To implant the device, a long, flexible tube, called a catheter, is inserted into a large vein in the groin and advanced to the heart. Once the tube reaches the left side of the heart, X-ray is used to guide a thinner catheter into the left atrial appendage. The tiny device is then passed through the tube and into the appendage. When the doctor has made sure it is in the right place, she takes the catheter out, and the procedure is completed.

This minimally invasive procedure usually requires a hospital stay of at least one day. Normal activities may be resumed within a few days. About 45 days following implantation, a test will be done to determine whether the device has closed the left atrial appendage. Check-ups have to be performed every year to make sure the device is in place.

Dr Vanderzee is one of the best doctors I've ever had in my life. She is warm and thoughtful, and always engages me in discussions about my care options. At my last visit, I brought an updated list of my medical history and past surgeries because there were a lot of gaps in the health info in MyChart. She reviewed the entire list and instructed the scribe on where to update the data. I thanked her for taking the time to do this as this certainly was not part of her regular responsibilities. She said " It's okay, it's important." I was so impressed and appreciative that she took on this task.

Dr. Van Der Zee listens carefully, answers all questions completely, takes all the time necessary to make me feel completely attended to, and provides important feedback and information. Staff are thoughtful and respectful. I had to wait in an examining room for longer than anticipated, and would have appreciated being told the doctor would be a few minutes late. She was apologetic and completely attentive when she arrived. I have recommended her to several friends, and would recommend her again without reservation. I know I can depend on her for excellent care and sound advice.

Dr. Van der See has been my cardiologist since she started at Pacific Health. From my first office visit, she has been exemplary. She is a great listener and a problem solver. She is willing to adjust my medications based upon our discussions about my current circumstances. I always feel like Dr. Van der See is examining me for the first time, in a good way, when I meet with her. We evaluate my course of care and make decisions based on my current situation and not based on what we have always done in the past. I think the world of Dr. Van der See.

Rating Dr. Sarina Van der Zee and her office (staff) may result in different ratings. Firstly, there is no other patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate provider like Dr. Van der Zee. Her knowledge surpasses cardiology. Her bedside manner is incredibly compassionate and her ability to listen and connect with her patients is incredible. She's one of a kind. Her staff, however, are not as patient and the accessibility in reaching her assistant, for something as simple as scheduling an appointment, is challenging.

Dr. Van der Zee is always friendly, explains things clearly, and welcomes questions. She listens to your concerns and addresses each with respect and care. She is attentive, and you do not feel rushed in your appointment. We had a little bit extra wait time this visit because they were having an issue with their device interrogation equipment. But they made sure everyone in the waiting room knew about the delay and got everyone in as quickly as possible.

Dr. Van Der Zee is the 5th cardiologist I saw for my Afib issue. Unlike the others, she took the time to create a plan for my care, did all the appropriate testing, and worked with me to improve my condition overall. I think she's extraordinary, and I feel fortunate to have access to her kindness, intelligence and skill. She saved me from the stress and pain that was making my life so difficult. I am very grateful.

I've been seeing Dr Van der Zee for many years. She has always been at the top of the game. I used to see someone else in this office who opted out of taking my insurance plan which wasn't a great move on his part as he lost me as a continuing patient despite whatever plans he did take. On the other hand it was a blessing for me as Dr Van der Zee has always been a sympathetic and highly skilled provider.

Dr Van der Zee is an exemplary physician. She is knowledgeable and competent, first and foremost. She listens and she does not talk down to the "hoi polloi" patient. She tries relating to the patient at a personal level in a genuine way. While she is young and about the same age as my own daughter, she as well as my daughter reassures me that our future is in good hands.

I've been going to dr van der Zee for about 14 years and have always been feeling that I'm in good hands when it comes to my heart health. I'm very satisfied with dr v d Zee's ability to listen and suggest next steps, her follow-ups on tests and new medications. I'm very satisfied with her as a doctor and the office visits and scheduling are all very smooth.

Dr. Van der Zee and her support staff are always professional and caring. I do not have to hear from the doctor's office about my test results because I can see them in the patient portal. When I see the doctor, she reviews the results and answers all questions about them. I am delighted and blessed to have Dr. Van der Zee as my cardiologist.
