Expert Care for Diabetes, Hypertension & Ongoing Conditions
Chronic Disease Management
Managing chronic conditions in 10-minute appointments is nearly impossible. Proper disease management requires time to assess how treatments are working, adjust medications thoughtfully, address lifestyle factors, and prevent complications. At Iron Health, our 30+ minute visits provide the time needed for effective chronic disease management. We treat diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, thyroid disorders, asthma, COPD, heart disease, chronic kidney disease, arthritis, and many other ongoing conditions. You'll work with the same physician who knows your history and partners with you for optimal long-term outcomes.
Comprehensive Management, Not Just Refills
Effective chronic disease management goes far beyond refilling prescriptions. During our 30+ minute visits, we thoroughly review your symptoms and how you're feeling day-to-day, assess whether current treatments are working effectively, check for medication side effects or interactions, monitor disease progression with appropriate testing, and adjust your treatment plan based on results and your feedback. We take time to explain your lab results, what they mean for your health, and why we're recommending specific changes. You'll understand your condition, your treatment options, and the reasoning behind our recommendations—making you an informed partner in your care, not a passive recipient.
Lifestyle Integration and Complication Prevention
Medication is just one part of managing chronic conditions effectively. We work with you to develop realistic lifestyle modifications including dietary changes that fit your preferences and culture, exercise programs appropriate for your fitness level and limitations, stress reduction techniques that work for your life, and self-monitoring strategies to track your progress. Our unhurried appointments allow detailed discussions about implementing these changes, troubleshooting obstacles you're facing, and celebrating improvements. We also focus on preventing complications through regular screenings, early intervention when issues arise, and coordination with specialists when needed. Most patients can be seen every 1-3 months depending on condition stability.
