Medically speaking – have you ever heard of Medication Overload?  It is the prescribing of multiple medications to individual patients, also known as “polypharmacy”.  What inspired and motivated Dr. Gamboa to open the practice was the desire to provide customized care.  That means whole-person, integrated care.  Are you seeing a heart specialist?  She wants to know about it.  Are you seeing someone for post-surgical pain or even chronic pain management?  Are you seeing a psychiatrist?  She wants to know that too.  Why?

One reason has to do with Medication Overload and/or the Rx Management.  Did you know that more than four in ten older adults take five or more prescription medications a day?  This number has tripled over the past 20 years.  Taking that much medication, especially when it has been prescribed by more than one specialist can cause side effects in the body negatively impacts one’s overall health.   Who is managing all of this?

Certain antidepressants and plus medicine for hypertension or diabetes may have counteractive results that cause more harm than good.  Dr. Gamboa’s approach to medicine, does not have to do with medicine at all.  Although she can and does prescribe and manage medications a patient can expect their first visit to be a full checkup.  That entails evaluation and assessment of the patient’s health including a review of all medications, supplements, and treatment history.  She will also take the time to discuss not only what ails you but will ask how do you really feel?  Are you happy in life?  What can she and the team at Elite Care Clinic do to help you live your best life?

Dr. Gamboa will help manage your medications – but more importantly, will help manage your health.

Well Woman exam?  Yes, she can do that.  Annual check up for Male Health?  Yes.  She will treat acute diseases, implement a medical weight loss plan if necessary and help you practice science-based preventative measures to maintain good health.
