Is your primary care physician only treating your symptoms with more medicine with each visit?

Has your primary care appointment become nothing more than an exercise in prescription refills?

The traditional approach to medicine is to mask your symptoms with medicine and kick the can down the road - but ultimately, this takes a toll on your body and you just don't feel as healthy and vibrant as you once did.

This ends now!

Welcome to your new home for Holistic Primary Care, where you have a team of specialists who have dedicated their lives to helping patients end the cycle of medication.

Our team can provide the same services you currently receive at your primary care appointments, including but not limited to:

• Preventative Medicine

That's right - our team can even handle refills on your current prescriptions.

However, our work doesn't end at the point of writing your prescription.

That is where the work begins for us.

Our team takes a scientific approach to exploring safe and effective therapy that will ultimately help you to end your dependence on medication.

• HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
• DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY

This Is How We Do It:

During each screening, we perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) on every student and if necessary an echocardiogram (ECHO). Screenings are administered by certified ECHO sonographers and ECG technicians. These simple, non-invasive tests allow skilled cardiologists to evaluate the structure and electrical activity of the heart to identify students who might be at risk of a cardiac event. Upon review, any teenager having an abnormal screen may be offered the opportunity to undergo a more thorough evaluation so that a plan for care can be established. We assure each teenager’s confidentiality, privacy and individual modesty is respected throughout all aspects of the screening.

Ages: 14 -18

As a teenager, it can be difficult and rather awkward to approach your parents with questions about sex. For many teens, it can be easier or more comfortable to go to their friends for advice. However, there is a great deal of incorrect information out there and it is important to know what information should be accepted as fact.

In today’s society, with all the access to information we have on the internet, it can be extremely difficult to judge what information is accurate and what is not. The Teen Talk Team at San Antonio AIDS Foundation (SAAF) has created this website to provide access to detailed and accurate information about sex, life and everything else that comes along with being a teen.
