Lance Gould, MD, holds the Distinguished University Chair in Cardiovascular Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) based on 48 years of experience in clinical cardiac practice and research. He pioneered all the current concepts and imaging tests, quantitative angiograms and coronary pressure measurements for defining severity of coronary artery disease, now used world wide electively for coronary artery disease.
Accordingly, he leads the world on imaging coronary blood flow using technology he pioneered called positron emission tomography (PET) as the basis for predicting high future risk of heart attack or death in individuals, and whether stents or bypass surgery may reduce this risk; or whether intense healthy living and medical treatment may stop or reverse coronary artery disease.
His leading technology developments and 48 years of clinical experience bring unique clinical insight, judgment and professional care for objective, optimal and personalized treatment opinions for individual patients, especially for those with angiogram, stents or bypass surgery recommendations including the world leading definitive imaging and experience that he provides.

Dr. gould is GREAT!!!!
Dr. Gould is one of the most knowledgeable Doctors I have ever known and he has achieved wonderful results (over two decades) in addressing my cardiovascular system back to great health.
This is J[...]. I've been going to Dr. Gould for probably over 20 years, maybe 30 years, and I find him to be one of the most caring, kind doctors that has helped me get to be the person that I am, and the very healthy person that I am.
Great caring staff which goes beyond to make patients comfortable and informed.
Dr. Gould and his team are excellent. He has treated me for over 10 year's and has really helped me improve my health and well being.
Office visit covered every possible concern. Thank you very much
Dr Gould discovered a rare hereditary condition which is likely responsible for many deaths in my family, including my father, my brother, and several uncles. The treatment course which he prescribed has vertually eliminated my risks due to my cardiovascular condition and is the reason that I am still alive and can look forward to enjoy getting even older with my family.
Dr Gould as always was very caring and gave his full attention to me. He was very thorough and I felt very taken care of.
Dr. Gould and his Staff, Mary Hannie, gave extra time to attentively listen to what I had to say. They discussed options like pharmaceutical as well how I can help myself. It was a very fruitful discussion. I left the clinic with a renewed feeling with back up suggestions. In the past I was directed to other specialties like neurosurgery and urology receiving outmost attention and care!!!! Dr. Gould really cares for my well being!!!
Thank you...
