A Comprehensive Path to Heart Recovery

Recovering from a heart event demands a program that is both rigorous and compassionate. Our Intensive Cardiac Rehab (ICR) service is designed to support patients recovering from heart attacks, surgeries, and chronic cardiac conditions. Located in Allen—serving Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and Dallas—our program is built on a foundation of medical expertise, personalized exercise routines, and lifestyle education. In our ICR program, you receive 72 sessions of dedicated, medically supervised care, ensuring every step of your journey toward better heart health is safe, effective, and empowering.

This expanded approach allows us to deliver personalized care in a medically supervised environment that emphasizes exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications. Our program follows the Pritikin Intensive Cardiac Rehab model—a Medicare-approved, evidence-based approach that helps reduce the risk of future cardiac events while instilling heart-healthy habits.

Heart attacks

Coronary artery bypass surgery

Alice was very sweet and caring. She made me feel very comfortable. She seems to know her stuff and is not afraid to tell you what you need to do to have a healthy body. I really like her. Will continue to see her.

I see Dr. Okoro at the Allen office  and I'm very impressed with her and her staff! Dr. Okoro doesn't rush and really listens to you. She explains everything and includes you in patient care decisions. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring, thorough, primary care physician!

I really enjoyed the clinic, staff and provider. Her bedside manner was great and she listened to my concerns.  I wasn’t made to feel like my concerns weren’t valid. It was a breathe of fresh air.  It’s worth the drive for me.
