Disease Prevention

Preventative medicine is the practice of reducing diseases and disabilities that effect people caused by environmental factors, genetic predisposition, disease agents, and lifestyle choices. Care begins before you realize you have anything wrong.Taking the right metrics early on allows us to act fast and prevent many types of diseases and disabilities from becoming a huge inhibitor to your life. Some examples include heart diseases, heart attacks, and disease prevention.

Diabetes Management

Over 10% of the human population in the USA has diabetes. The unfortunate thing is most people don't catch it soon enough. Our clinic is certified in diabetes management so we know how to catch it early. This means we can prevent you from having to deal with the really bad repercussions of not being diagnosed soon enough.

Heart Attack Risk Reduction

The problem with waiting until you have an event to begin aggressive treatment is that 40% (4 out of 10) of the patients with the disease, their first sign of a possible problem is death. We lose 40 % of the patients with the disease right at the beginning. If we can look at your risk early, roughly 20 years before a possible event, we can treat patients with increased risk more aggressively and lower that risk. Patients are told all the time that their cholesterol levels are ok, but the test that is done only measures the weight of the cholesterol. It's more important to address the number of LDL (bad) particles in the arteries. Low HDL along with elevated triglycerides can be indicators of increased risk. We can offer a high level ultrasound evaluation of the arteries which is cheap and noninvasive to assess risk. Accurate information and early treatment are key to successful prevention.

Awesome Doctors and medical staff! Stone Ridge is the first place I've gone to where I don't feel rushed while visiting my doctor! Michele listens and talks with me about my concerns. we discuss the best plan of action for my medical needs! Love, Love her "bedside manner"! This group is not apart of the local BIG hospitals and clearly don't have the unwritten 15 min per patient philosophy!! Thank you Stone Ridge for making your patients a priority.
