What is family care?

What services does family care provide?

At Laracuente HealthCare Associates, Dr. Laracuente and his team offer various family care services, including:

Physical exams

During a physical exam, Dr. Laracuente assesses your general health. He takes your temperature, orders blood work, and conducts various tests to gain insights into your general well-being. Regular check-ups at Laracuente HealthCare Associates can provide peace of mind.

Lab tests

Lab tests analyze your urine, blood, or saliva to learn about underlying medical issues. At Laracuente HealthCare Associates, the team uses lab tests to diagnose various conditions, including hormonal imbalances, diabetes, and nutritional deficiencies.

Immunizations

Immunizations (vaccines) train your immune system to attack and destroy invaders like viruses or bacteria. Though no vaccine is 100% effective, staying up-to-date on your immunizations can reduce your risk of hospitalization and severe outcomes.

Sex-specific preventive screenings

Sex-specific screenings, like Pap smears and prostate exams, detect cervical cancer or prostate cancer early on when they are easiest to treat. After an exam and a review of your medical charts, Dr. Laracuente can recommend preventive screenings that align with your needs.

Weight loss

Losing weight is difficult, especially if you’re 30 or older. Medically-supervised weight loss combines nutrition education, exercise guidance, and prescription medication to help you shed pounds and maintain a healthy weight.

Pain management

Pain management diagnoses and treats acute and chronic pain. If you have back pain or joint pain that affects your mobility or independence, pain management services can help. Dr. Laracuente offers minimally invasive treatments that can provide lasting relief.

Dr. Laracuente and his team offer other family medicine services as well, including prescription medication and referrals to specialists.

How often should I schedule a family care visit?

Dr. Laracuente and the team at Laracuente HealthCare Associates recommend scheduling family care once a year, even if you feel healthy. Routine check-ups can alert you to underlying issues, ensuring you and your loved ones age gracefully.
