- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Gomez serves as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon, reviewing their reports, and ensuring all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We will make sure everyone involved has the information they need to provide the best possible care.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes, medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Gomez will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
