Disease Management
Disease Management
We take your health seriously at Star Medical Associates.
Our disease management services include physical evaluations, diagnostic screenings or tests you require, as well as regularly monitoring your health to ensure you get the treatment you need – when you need it.
Proper healthcare means so much more than simply treating your most immediate healthcare needs. It also means coordinating your care so that, as you and your circumstances change over time, the medical interventions you receive remain appropriate and effective for you. Disease management means improving your quality of life, despite the medical conditions you are dealing with.
Often this involves a twofold approach: making medical decisions, such as adjusting medications or recommending new therapies as chronic conditions change, as well as providing the information and guidance you might need to conduct proper self-care in between doctor visits. It’s why internal medicine physician Dr. Rani Anbarasu values the long-term, open, and trusting relationships she develops with her patients.
Chronic conditions we can help medically manage include:
- Allergies and asthma disorders
- Arthritis
- Autoimmune disorders
- Chronic bronchitis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Congestive heart failure (CHF)
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Dementia
- Diabetes
- Emphysema
- Gastroesophageal reflex disease (GERD)
- Gastrointestinal disorders
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Mental health issues like depression
- Obesity and weight loss management
- Sleep disorders
- Thyroid conditions
- Urinary incontinence
Many of our patients have pre-existing chronic conditions that require medical monitoring. Some of the most common ones include diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Regular doctor visits are especially important for these and other conditions in which you may experience no symptoms – until it’s too late.
In addition to regular checkups, Dr. Anbarasu encourages her patients to contact her anytime they experience a change in symptoms or a worsening of their condition. Dealing with changes as they occur is critical to preventing serious complications that can occur with many chronic medical conditions.
