Receiving high-quality yet compassionate medical treatment in Modesto can greatly impact one’s health and well-being. Here in Modesto, we believe that healthcare should revolve around the patient – not vice versa. Our practice aims to provide personal care services that address each individual’s unique needs and health goals.
What Preventive Care Looks Like
Rather than solely treating illness, our providers place an emphasis on preventive care to help patients proactively maintain wellness. This involves screening for and monitoring health conditions, addressing risk factors, and equipping patients with the tools they need to make healthy lifestyle choices.
Preventive care measures might include regular checkups, age and gender-appropriate health screening tests, chronic disease management, vaccinations, and counseling on topics like nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and stress management. We also provide personalized care plans to help patients implement positive changes.
The Benefits of Preventive Care
Research shows that preventive care services can catch issues early, manage chronic conditions, reduce hospital visits, prevent disease, and essentially help people live longer, healthier lives. An ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure. That’s why our practice encourages all patients to prioritize preventive health.
In-House Testing for Convenience
As part of our comprehensive preventive care services, our practice offers several in-house laboratory tests for early detection and monitoring like tests for high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. These tests are quick and convenient and help inform personalized treatment plans.
Tests available in our lab include:
- Blood glucose testing: Monitoring blood sugar levels plays a pivotal role in managing prediabetes and testing diabetes at home. Our lab offers fast, reliable HbA1c and glucose tests to screen for and manage these conditions. Patients can get same-day test results.
- Lipid profile: High cholesterol raises one’s risk for heart disease and stroke. Our in-house lipid panel measures total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides to assess cardiovascular health. We can then provide lifestyle changes and treatment to help optimize cholesterol levels based on each patient’s risk factors.
- Complete blood count (CBC): This common blood test checks for anemia, infections, blood disorders and other issues. It’s often part of a routine physical as it provides helpful insight into overall health.
- Thyroid testing: Thyroid disorders can cause unpleasant symptoms that disrupt quality of life. Our providers can order thyroid blood tests in-house to check hormone levels and catch issues early on.
And more – ask your care team what preventive screening tests might be right for you based on your health profile.
Holistic Support for Total Well-being
True preventive care extends beyond testing alone. It’s about equipping patients with the support and resources they need to thrive mentally, physically and emotionally. Our practice offers comprehensive lifestyle counseling and services to address the whole patient.
These holistic services include:
- Nutrition guidance: Our dietitians provide personalized nutrition plans, meal ideas and eating strategies to help patients reach health goals. Recommendations focus on whole, minimally processed foods.
- Fitness coaching: Our staff can create customized fitness regimens that work for each patient’s abilities and needs. This includes tips for staying active at home if getting to the gym is difficult.
- Stress management: We help patients develop healthy coping strategies for managing life’s stressors. This can involve counseling, referrals to mental health services, mindfulness techniques and more.
- Care navigation: Our dedicated patient care team helps patients understand health conditions, coordinate specialty care, enroll in financial assistance programs and essentially get the support they need. We aim to alleviate any barriers to care.
And more – just ask! We tailor our services to serve each patient best.
