Dr. Raymond Kordonowy | Fort Myers DPC Doctor | Direct Primary Care | Board-Certified Internal Medicine | Certified Clinical Lipidology & Advanced Lipidology (Cholesterol) in Southwest Florida, Cape Coral

Raymond Kordonowy, MD

Diplomate, American Board of Clinical Lipidology

Southwest Florida’s premier lipidologist, dedicated to revealing and treating the 50% of cardiovascular risk missed by standard cholesterol panels. He offers Naples residents a proactive, root-cause approach to heart health unavailable elsewhere in the region.

This rigorous credential goes far beyond standard training, requiring specialized study in cholesterol metabolism, genetics, and heart attack prevention.

Most providers receive minimal training in advanced lipidology. As a Diplomate, Dr. Kordonowy does not just “manage cholesterol”—he analyzes the root causes of arterial disease to prevent cardiac events before they occur.

"Plumbing" vs "Chemistry"

The Difference Between Cardiology & Lipidology

Interventional Cardiology

Focuses on the “Plumbing”—treating blockages after they have formed (stents, bypass).

Essential for acute care.

Clinical Lipidology

Focuses on the “Chemistry”—optimizing the blood environment to prevent plaque from forming in the first place.

Proactive and preventive.

We partner with your Naples cardiologist to reduce your risk profile, ensuring you never need their surgical interventions.

Beyond Standard Cholesterol Panels

Standard panels miss 50% of risk. We reveal the hidden threats.

LDL Particle Number (LDL-P)

Measuring particle number is often more predictive of disease than volume.

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)

The gold standard for assessing total atherogenic particle burden.

Lipoprotein(a)

A genetic risk factor found in 20% of the population, resistant to diet and exercise.

Genetic Screening

Identifying Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) to protect future generations.

What Naples Patients Say

Dr. Kordonowy’s advanced lipid testing revealed an Lp(a) of 180 mg/dL—my Naples cardiologist never even tested for it.

Naples Executive

My LDL was ‘normal’ but my calcium score was 350. Dr. Kordonowy explained cholesterol discordance and adjusted my treatment.

Naples Resident

The 35-minute drive is worth it for Diplomate-level lipidology expertise. This level of specialized preventive cardiology simply doesn’t exist in Naples.
