Either!: Whichever your insurance pays for. If uninsured, whoever is cheaper and/or more convenient.

Both are fine: The quality of an EchoCG, like all other tests, depends on the quality of the people performing and interpreting it. Both Cardiologist's office and imaging center may be OK if they are quality people. But you need to see a cardiologist to evaluate the findings in a given case, and to advise you what needs to be done.
