The Center for Cholesterol Management is directed by Michael F. Richman, M.D., F.A.C.S., F.C.C.P.

After completing his medical degree at Georgetown University, Dr. Richman moved to his native home of Los Angeles to complete his general surgery residency at the University of Southern California (USC) School of Medicine. He then completed a fellowship in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital at the University of Miami. Having performed nearly one thousand cardiac bypass procedures throughout his career, Dr. Richman has always maintained a strong interest in the preventative aspect of cardiac care, namely cholesterol (lipid) management. As a long-standing member of the National Lipid Association, Dr. Richman started The Center for Cholesterol Management in August 2005 in order to focus exclusively on preventative care and management for those who may be at risk for heart disease.

The Center for Cholesterol Management is the only free-standing facility in Southern California to deliver state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders using advanced lipoprotein testing- the only test that provides both traditional lipids and the number of atherogenic particles to better identify and manage patients at risk for coronary heart disease. He recently added the most comprehensive cardiovascular testing available to identify patients at risk for cardiovascular disease earlier and then individualize the appropriate treatments. Dr. Richman is one of very few heart surgeons with a practice dedicated to advanced lipoprotein testing and the prevention of heart disease.
