Chronic Disease

Living with ongoing health issues can be a challenge.  Dr. Echemendia is here to help you manage your chronic health problems such as thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis, COPD, and hypertension, among others.

Bone density scan

We rely on our bones to support us each and every day, so making sure they are strong is crucial.  Bone density scans are offered right here at our office.  The scan is painless and relatively quick, providing vital information to ensure you are able to keep your bones healthy and doing the job you need them to do.  This is especially important for postmenopausal women as a method of screening for osteoporosis and helping to prevent fractures.  Ask Dr. E about osteoporotic treatment and options.

Joint injections

Having pain in your joints can affect your quality of everyday life.  Dr. E can administer joint injections which can provide some pain relief.  Ask the doctor if this kind of treatment is appropriate for you.

Wart/Skin Lesion Removal

From warts to skin tags or other lesions, there are sometimes irregular spots that pop up on our skin.  Some of these may be bothersome and others not so much.  Either way, Dr. E can take care of many of these problems right in the exam room, including biopsying abnormal skin lesions and treating precancerous lesions with cryotherapy.

Ultrasound Services

Ultrasounds can be useful in a variety of contexts to help confirm a diagnosis.  Ultrasound imaging including complete cardiac echo, abdominal/liver scan, and thyroid scan among others, can be conveniently administered right here in our office.
