“I don’t think you can go anywhere and get better care from the cardiologists and the nurses and technicians than you can at the LMH Health Heart Center. Most of us have quite a few years of experience, but most of my partners don’t have as much grey hair as I do,” Dr. Michael Zabel says with a smile.
Dr. Zabel earned his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine, and completed his residency and fellowship training in cardiology at Duke University. 
“I enjoy treating heart failure patients, those with ischemic heart disease and valvular heart disease, which we’re seeing more of because it tends to be age-related,” he said. “I want my patients to know not to worry too much about this. We can treat almost everything.”
Dr. Zabel is a Fellow of the American Society of Echocardiography and is board certified in cardiovascular disease. 

Dr. Kye Evans didn’t set out to become an emergency medicine doctor. He fell into it by accident.
“I was working as an undergrad in the ER and they sent me to an Emergency Medical Technician course. I loved the constant change and excitement, and I knew this is where I should be.”
After earning his medical degree from the Kansas City University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completing emergency medicine residency at the Maricopa Medical Center in Phoenix, Dr. Evans spent a number of years working in the emergency department. That’s where you can really see an overlap with wound and vein care.
“We see a lot of wounds and injuries in the ED that result in bad outcomes. One of the things we try to do in wound is limb salvage, trying to prevent loss of limb and limb amputations. It made a lot of sense for me to continue in that field and provide comprehensive care for those patients.”
Dr. Evans has worked at the LMH Health Wound Healing and Vein Center since 2011 and serves as the clinic’s medical director. The clinic specializes in caring for diabetic foot wounds, allowing patients to maintain their normal lifestyle.
“The care you receive in our clinic is unique. You have the same nurse with you the entire time throughout your visit. They stay with you through your procedures, follow you through your care, and you really develop a relationship.”
