behind the scenes
At Waycross Internal Medicine, we provide dedicated care for patients with chronic illness such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol, which can lead to heart disease, kidney issues, and vision problems. As part of our comprehensive treatment, our approach includes close collaboration with physicians specializing in coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic renal failure, and cancer treatment. We value quality of life for our patients and promote strategic goals for maintaining it. Through routine examinations and regular blood testing, we can often slow down (and sometimes prevent) progression of chronic illnesses, enabling our patients to enjoy healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Our physicians are proactive when it comes to prevention and encourage a healthy lifestyle. As part of our prevention program, we offer:
Individual diabetes education classes
Regular monitoring of lab results for patients suffering from diabetes and hypertension
Assessment and monitoring of patient medication in efforts to detect early kidney or liver damage which may prevent (or slow the progression of) permanent organ damage.
At Waycross Internal Medicine, we take great pride in having Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants as integral members of our team. Together with our dedicated Doctors, we strive to provide you with the highest standard of medical expertise and care.
