Services
Primary Care
Our board-certified internists provide comprehensive primary care for adults aged 17 and above. We manage chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease while offering preventive care and acute illness treatment. Our physicians maintain continuity of care during hospitalization, ensuring consistent treatment from diagnosis through recovery. Services include physical exams, lab work, and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.
Diagnostic Services
We offer in-house diagnostic services including full-service laboratory testing, x-ray imaging, and vascular ultrasound. Our Medicare-CLIA certified lab provides timely results for blood work and other diagnostic tests. Advanced imaging services like DEXA bone density scans and echocardiography help identify conditions early. Having these services under one roof eliminates the need for multiple facility visits.
Podiatric Services
Our podiatrists treat foot and ankle conditions for adults and children. Services include diabetic foot care, sports injury treatment, and management of conditions like plantar fasciitis and ingrown toenails. We offer in-office x-rays, wound care management, and custom orthotics. Our specialists work closely with internists to coordinate care for patients with complex medical needs.
Hospital Care
We provide continuous hospital care for acute and chronic illnesses, including ICU coverage. Our physicians follow patients throughout their hospital stay rather than transferring care to hospitalists. This ensures treatment consistency and better outcomes. We coordinate with specialists while maintaining primary care responsibility, providing seamless transition to outpatient follow-up care.
Preventive Healthcare
Our preventive care program includes annual physicals, cancer screenings, and chronic disease monitoring. We offer vaccinations, prostate exams, and vascular screenings to detect conditions early. Our physicians emphasize wellness education and risk reduction strategies tailored to individual patient needs. Regular check-ups help maintain health and prevent serious medical issues.

Dr Robledo is the first Dr Ive ever been to that hears what I have to say rather than just telling me an assumed diagnosis. Would recommend him (and have) to anyone looking for a good primary care physician.

I made a appointment to get some vaccination shots. I left work early to get there to do the paper work. My appointment was at 2:30 I got there about 2:10 saw the Dr. at 2:55. When the Dr. ask why I was there he told me he would not get the vaccination cause he would have to buy them. I would have been great if they would call me instead let me show up to find out.
