The frequency of follow-up appointments depends on your specific condition, its severity, and how well it's controlled. Initially, you may need more frequent visits until your condition stabilizes. For well-controlled chronic conditions, visits may be scheduled every 3-6 months. Your provider will recommend an appropriate schedule based on your individual needs.

This depends on your specific condition. Some chronic diseases require lifelong medication, while others may be managed with lifestyle changes or shorter courses of treatment. Our goal is to use the least amount of medication necessary to effectively control your condition and maintain your quality of life. We regularly reassess the need for medications and adjust as appropriate.

Self-management is crucial for chronic disease control. This includes taking medications as prescribed, following your recommended diet and exercise plan, monitoring your symptoms, and tracking relevant health metrics (such as blood pressure or blood sugar). We'll provide specific guidance for your condition and help you develop a personalized self-management plan.

Many chronic diseases cannot be completely cured, but they can be effectively managed to minimize symptoms and prevent complications. With proper treatment and lifestyle modifications, many people with chronic conditions maintain excellent quality of life and normal life expectancy. Some conditions may go into remission with appropriate treatment and lifestyle changes.

Yes, we offer telehealth appointments for many aspects of chronic disease management, including follow-up visits, medication adjustments, and lifestyle counseling. This provides convenient access to care without the need to come into the office for every appointment. Some visits may still require in-person assessment, particularly for physical examinations or certain tests.
