John W. Layher, M.D. and L. Steven Lowman, M.D. joined forces with St. Mary’s Health Care System in April of 2008 to create a cardiology practice that not only provides quality care, but also encompasses the mission of St. Mary’s to provide specialty care with dignity and compassion.
Oconee Heart and Vascular Center was formed out of the desire to provide advanced cardiovascular care to the patients of Northeast Georgia. With locations in Athens, Greensboro, Lavonia, and Monroe we are committed to delivering quality heart and vascular services. Our expert cardiologist takes a proactive, preventative approach to heart care, addressing problems such as high cholesterol and blood pressure when detected and will put you first from prevention, diagnosis, treatment and continuum of care for those with heart disease.
