Blood pressure, under control.

The right diagnosis. The right medication. The right target. With home BP monitoring and check-ins every 4–6 weeks, most patients reach their goal within 3–4 months.

High blood pressure is the most treatable chronic condition

And the one most New Yorkers ignore until it's too late.

1 in 3 NYC adults has high blood pressure. About half don't know it. Of those who do, less than half have it controlled. Hypertension drives stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, and dementia — and most of those outcomes are preventable with consistent, well-managed care.

Typical journey to controlled BP

Most patients reach goal within 3–4 months.

Initial visit

Confirm diagnosis using home readings (not just one-off office numbers). Set target BP based on age, conditions, risks.

First medication

Start with the right first-line drug for you. Most patients tolerate ACE inhibitors or ARBs well.

Titrate

Every 4–6 weeks, review home BP log. Increase dose or add a second medication if needed.

Maintain

At goal? Quarterly check-ins. We watch labs, side effects, and life changes that might affect things.

FAQ

Common questions.

My BP was high once at the doctor. Do I have hypertension?

Not necessarily. About 15-20% of people have 'white coat hypertension' — high readings only in clinical settings. The right diagnosis comes from home BP readings or ambulatory monitoring. We help you do that correctly before committing to lifelong medication.

Will I have to take BP meds forever?

Many patients with mild hypertension can come off medication after sustained lifestyle change (weight loss, sodium reduction, exercise, better sleep). Some require lifelong medication regardless of lifestyle. We're honest about which category you're in.

Does NY Medicaid cover home BP monitors?

Yes — most NY Medicaid Managed Care plans cover home BP monitors for patients with diagnosed hypertension. We submit the order with appropriate documentation.

What's a normal blood pressure target?

For most adults: under 130/80 is the modern target. For older adults (65+), 130-140 systolic is often acceptable. For diabetics: 130/80. For pregnant women: different and tighter. We set your personal target during your first visit.

Can you handle 'resistant' hypertension?

Often yes — many cases of so-called resistant hypertension are due to medication non-adherence, white coat effect, or sub-optimal medication choices. After a thorough workup we can usually get patients controlled. Truly resistant hypertension (3+ medications including diuretic, still uncontrolled) gets referred to NYC nephrology or hypertension specialists.

A healthy blood pressure is achievable.
