Biography
Dr. Lapan firmly believes life is about balance, and it’s a philosophy he promotes to his patients as well as practices himself. He views himself as a health coach, helping patients identify lifestyle changes they can make to live a healthier, more satisfying life. He practices a holistic approach to medicine, striving to understand the underlying issues behind each patient’s cardiac disease instead of just prescribing an easy fix.
Dr. Lapan has been a cardiologist for more than 30 years, and every day he comes to work, he feels privileged that his patients have chosen him to care for them. He tries to honor that choice and provide customer service that exceeds their expectations. He treats his patients with respect, the way he would expect a physician to treat him. He practices general cardiology, so he manages patients with a wide range of cardiac diseases and illnesses. He's also passionate about cardiac rehab, and encourages his patients to participate in a program after any cardiac event to help them heal, but also to help prevent future cardiac occurrences.
Outside of work, Dr. Lapan enjoys spending time with his family, going to the gym, golfing, reading and business. He runs two family non-profit organizations that focus on preparing at risk youth for college.
