Peak Heart & Vascular

What Peak Heart & Vascular does

Peak Heart & Vascular is a multispecialty cardiovascular group practice headquartered in Surprise, Arizona, operating seven clinic locations across the Phoenix metropolitan area and northern Arizona, supported by two Joint Commission-accredited outpatient facilities — Peak Surgery Center in Avondale and Peak Cardiovascular Center in Surprise. Founded by Nirav J. Mehta (interventional cardiology), Stephen T. Smith (vascular surgery), and Andy H.T. Tran (cardiac electrophysiology), with partner Robert S. Bear (preventive cardiology), the practice delivers a comprehensive cardiovascular service portfolio spanning general cardiology, electrophysiology, interventional and structural cardiology, vascular surgery, preventive cardiology, and a dedicated Vein Center, using advanced catheter-based and minimally invasive techniques (TAVR, Watchman FLX, pulsed field ablation via Farapulse/Varipulse, complex PCI, EVAR, TEER, TMVR, closure procedures). Diagnostic capabilities include Cardiac PET/CT, echocardiography, stress testing, CT, and MRI. The practice is supported by approximately eight physicians and seven nurse practitioners, alongside administrative, imaging, billing, and surgery center leadership.

The practice generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service cardiovascular care across general and procedural cardiology, with secondary revenue and patient-acquisition streams layered on top. These include a clinical trials program via a January 2025 partnership with Axsendo Clinical Research (including an Eli Lilly-sponsored ATTAIN-PAD study in peripheral artery disease) and a patient financing relationship with Cherry offering 0% APR and 5.99%+ APR payment plans. The patient acquisition motion is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via online scheduling through the healow portal, physician referrals, self-referrals, and same-day appointments, supported by a patient portal for records access and care team communication. Marketing channels include active social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram) and a content/blog function.

Peak also operates a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Peak Heart Foundation, focused on cardiovascular disease education, community outreach, and access to care for underserved and rural Arizona communities, and hosts an annual CME Conference for healthcare providers (September 12, 2026 at Hilton Sedona Resort, 10.25 CME credits). The practice is private and independent, with no disclosed external private equity, venture, or strategic capital backing.
