PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
The principle of preventive medicine is to screen and detect disease early, before it causes symptoms, before it is too late.
We target important and common disease, associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
Examples are:
Breast cancer (Encourage self breast exam. Mammograms), Cervical cancer (Pap smear, HPV screen), Lung cancer (smoking cessation), Colon Cancer (diet, CEA), Prostate Cancer (Prostate exam PSA),Hypertension, Diabetes, High cholesterol, Obesity etc..
In our screening and early detection, we use accurate tests / examination / imaging, widely available and accepted, with high sensitivity and specificity.
Our goal is to detect the disease at its pre-symptomatic stage. We use the standard of care to treat such disease with available, acceptable, efficacious treatments.
Our Doctors & Staff understand the patient's medical, psychological, socio-economic condition, life style & habits to better treat our patients and to deliver comprehensive longitudinal care, following the AAFP (American Academy of Family Physicians) guidelines.
