Beyond the day-to-day primary care issues and occasional urgent care problem is the on-going management of chronic conditions that so many of us are faced to contend with. These conditions are both physical and mental, and can include diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, cholesterol, and anxiety, among many others.

Since a primary care physician serves as your 'home base' for healthcare, the DocTalker medical team can help you manage these conditions on an on-going basis. Depending on your needs, the DocTalker medical team can either be your primary care provider for your chronic condition, or we can interface directly with your specialist to help provide you on-going day-to-day care. We can help you manage the necessary medications, refills, labs, and tests, and do so with email notifications to remind you of necessary tests, follow up with the results via phone or email, and then post the results to our secured electronic record management  system for you to review and track privately along with our medical team.

The management of these chronic conditions often translates into many visits to the doctor and lost days of work or school. Wherever possible, our medical team is trying to ensure that you can get the care and help you need by offering phone or email follow up as well as being available either face-to-face or by phone, during times that are most convenient to you.

The choice is yours.
