Cryotherapy
Some warts can be removed with over-the-counter treatments. Your doctor can remove warts with liquid nitrogen or cryotherapy that freezes and removes warts. Laser therapy and surgery can also remove warts. Genital warts require professional treatment by your doctor. You should not use over-the-counter products to remove genital warts.
Sinusitis
Medical Weight Loss
Treatment of Pre-Diabetes can return blood glucose levels back to normal and prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 Diabetes. Treatment for Pre-Diabetes includes good nutrition, weight loss, and exercise. Even a small amount of weight loss, 5-10% of the total body weight, can help. Moderate exercise, such as walking, should be done for 30 minutes each day, five days per week.
Pediatric Care
Antibiotics may be prescribed if a child’s condition does not start to improve within a few days. The American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Family Physicians recommend the selective use of antibiotics to prevent the development of germs that resist or do not respond to the medication. Surgery may be recommended when middle ear infections fail to respond to antibiotics.
Primary Care
Residents can take advantage of all the benefits of having a local primary care physician, where we emphasize preventive care through regular physicals, well-care for men and women, and regular management of chronic disease.

Flu shots are usually given at the beginning of the flu season during the months of October and November. It is recommended that people in high-risk groups receive flu shots in September. The vaccine reduces the risk of influenza-related death for people in high-risk groups.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Generalized anxiety disorder can cause physical symptoms as well. You may feel irritable, tired, weak, and shaky. You may experience excessive sweating, shortness of breath, and feel your heart beating in your chest. Headaches and muscle tension are associated with generalized anxiety disorder. You may experience problems sleeping. It may be difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or to “get a good night’s sleep.” Generalized anxiety disorder can contribute to digestive problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is an eye disorder that occurs from damage to the optic nerve. The optic nerve carries nerve signals about what you see to your brain for processing. Glaucoma most frequently results from an imbalance of fluid production and drainage... Read More
Cataracts
People with diabetes have a higher risk of eye problems and blindness than people without diabetes. A long history of diabetes and older age are factors associated with developing glaucoma. Glaucoma occurs when pressure builds up in the eye and causes gradual vision loss. People with diabetes tend to develop cataracts at a younger age and at a quicker rate than people without diabetes. Cataracts cause the clear lens in the eye to become cloudy, diminishing vision.
Eye Exam
People with diabetes should have an eye exam at least once a year. The eye examination should include screening for glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.

Female Infertility
Endometriosis
Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for very painful menstrual cramps. All females may experience cramps at one time or another, but for those with dysmenorrhea, severe pain and stomach problems may interfere with their daily activities. Dysmenorrhea may or may not be caused by an underlying condition, such as endometriosis or fibroids. There are many treatments to help dysmenorrhea, including self-care measures, medications, or surgery to treat the underlying causes.
Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy
You should contact your doctor if you are over 16 years old and have never had a period or if you have menstruated but have missed two or more periods in a row. Your doctor will review your medical history, conduct a pelvic examination, and take some tests to determine the underlying cause of your amenorrhea. Blood, urine, or pregnancy testing may be conducted. Your hormones may be tested. In some cases, imaging tests may be used.
Labor and Delivery
There are several different types of depression including major depression, minor depression, dysthymia, atypical depression, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. A major depression involves the presence of more than six symptoms of depression that last for at least two weeks, but the depression lasts for more than six months. Minor depression consists of less than five depressive symptoms that last less than five weeks. Dysthymia is a mild form of depression that lasts a long time, usually about two years. Unusual symptoms, such as hearing things and delusional thoughts, characterize atypical depression. Postpartum depression is a rare but very serious condition that women may experience after childbirth. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is likely related to the amount of sunlight. It occurs during the fall and winter seasons and resolves during the spring and summer.

Cervical Cancer
A pelvic examination is a short, yet very important procedure. Pelvic examinations are used to check for normal female reproductive development, test for infections or sexually transmitted diseases, and screen for abnormal growths or cells. A pelvic examination appointment is a good time to discuss problems or concerns about your period, birth control, and preventing sexually transmitted disease. It is also a good time to receive a breast examination or schedule a mammogram if indicated. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend that girls should first visit a gynecologist between the ages of 13 and 15. Cervical cancer screening (Pap smear) should be done during your pelvic exam starting at age 21, and should be repeated once every 3 years.
Colon Cancer
Menopause is a normal and healthy part of a female’s life. You should contact your doctor if you experience symptoms that bother you. Blood tests can measure your hormones to determine if you are experiencing menopause. Women of menopausal age should receive an annual physical examination including a breast exam, pelvic exam, pap smear, mammogram, and cholesterol test. You should also discuss your risk factors and receive screening for heart disease, colon cancer, and bone density loss.
Endoscopy
An Upper Gastrointestinal Intestinal (GI) Endoscopy is a procedure that uses an endoscope to view the esophagus, stomach, and upper duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. This test is also called an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) or a gastroscopy. An... Read More
Interstitial Cystitis
Urinary Tract Infection
An infection in the urethra or bladder is termed a “lower urinary tract infection.” An infection in the urethra is called “urethritis.” An infection in the bladder is called “cystitis.” The infection may spread through the urinary tract to the ureters and kidneys. An infection in this area is termed an “upper urinary tract infection.” An infection of the kidneys is called “pyelonephritis.” In general, the higher the location of the infection, such as the kidneys, the more serious it is.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a common type of cancer in men. The prostate is a golf ball size gland found only in men. It is located underneath the bladder and in front of the rectum. In most cases, prostate cancer occurs when the cells in the prostate gland grow abnormally or out of control. The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown.
Lung Cancer

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a neurologically based disorder. People with ADHD have difficulty maintaining attention, act before thinking, and are hyperactive or restless. Untreated ADHD can be problematic and disrupt school or work performance, as well as social relationships. ADHD is a long term condition and can continue into adulthood. More and more frequently this disease is recognized as occurring in adults. There is no way to prevent ADHD; however, early identification and treatment are associated with the best outcomes.

Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy can also be caused by diabetes. The retina is the part of the eye that receives images. Nonproliferative retinopathy is a condition that affects the capillaries in the retina. Retinal swelling may result in vision loss. In some people, retinopathy progresses to a more serious condition called proliferative retinopathy. The blood vessel damage caused by proliferative retinopathy causes scarring and eventual retina detachment destroys vision.
Thyroid Cancer

Ultrasound
Specific tests may be done to help determine a physical cause for erectile dysfunction. Ultrasound may be used to check the blood vessels and blood flow in the penis. Your doctor will evaluate the nerves in your penis. Dynamic infusion cavernosometry and cavernosography (DICC) evaluates blood pressure and blood flow to the penis. Nocturnal tumescence testing is used to help rule out a physical abnormality associated with erectile dysfunction.

Chemotherapy
The side effects from chemotherapy may include temporary hair loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, mouth sores, rashes, fatigue, low blood counts, an increased risk for infection, and bleeding or bruising after minor cuts or injuries. Most side effects go away after the chemotherapy treatments are over. Again, talk to your doctor about your side effects and possible treatments.
Radiation Therapy
The goal of radiation therapy may be curative. Radiation therapy may be used for low-grade cancer that has not spread or that has only spread to nearby tissues. It may also be used to shrink the size of advanced cancer tumors. External beam radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to destroy or shrink cancer cells. This type of treatment is similar to a regular x-ray and is done on an outpatient basis. Men usually receive five treatments per week for several weeks.

Laparoscopy
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan or computed tomography (CT) may be done of your head if your doctor suspects that you may have a pituitary tumor. A pelvic ultrasound, laparoscopy, or hysteroscopy may be used to reveal structural abnormalities in your reproductive organs. An ultrasound creates images by using sound waves. A technician or your doctor will simply place a small conduction device on your skin. A laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that allows your doctor to view your pelvic cavity. It involves inserting a thin tube with a lighting device through a small incision in you abdomen. A laparoscopy is an outpatient test that uses general anesthesia. A hysteroscopy uses a viewing instrument that is inserted through your vagina and cervix to examine the inside of the uterus.

Eczema
Eczema is a chronic hypersensitive skin reaction, similar to an allergy. Atopic dermatitis is a common form of eczema. The hallmark symptoms of eczema are intense itching and a red rash. Environmental irritants, stress, water, and temperature changes may worsen the symptoms. Fortunately, there are a variety of medications and preventative measures that can help ease your symptoms.
Fungus
Bacterial infections tend to manifest as styes on the eyelid, boils, infected hair follicles, deep infections under the skin, and nail infections. Bacterial infections cause the skin to become hot, swollen, red, and painful. Fungus infections are caused by yeast-like organisms. They create itchy rashes in moist areas of the skin. Common fungal infections include jock itch, athlete’s foot, ringworm, and vaginal infections. Both bacterial infections and fungal infections can be treated with prescription medication.
Rashes
Skin Care
Treatment for eczema depends on the symptoms. Oozing skin is treated with moisturizers and dressings. Anti-itch or corticosteroid lotions are used to treat healing or dry areas. Tar compounds, anti-inflammatory medications, topical immunomodulators (TIMs) or corticosteroid medications are used to treat chronic eczema or thickened skin. Your doctor will recommend a specific skin care regime for you. Continue your skin care routine even after the eczema has healed.

Hammertoes
A hammertoe deformity is a common condition that occurs most frequently in the second toe, although it can be present in more than one toe. Increased pressure on the tips of the toes and the lack of muscle stability causes a joint in the toe to become permanently flexed with a claw-like appearance. The toe deformity and pressure displacement makes the toe susceptible to skin ulcers.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are a common condition in adults. They occur when the corner of a toenail grows into the skin or when the skin grows over the toenail. Ingrown toenails cause pain and swelling. If left untreated, they can lead... Read More
Foot Injuries
Podiatric Deformities
Wounds and injuries can be difficult to heal if diabetes is uncontrolled. This can be especially true of wounds in the feet. Infections tend to get worse or remain undetected, especially in the presence of diabetic neuropathy or vascular disease. Neuropathy can cause people to be unaware of wounds. Additionally, the increased pressure from the feet carrying the body weight aggravates foot wounds. Further, shoes can cause skin friction, rubbing, and tearing. The hot moist environment of shoes is favorable to infection and foot ulcers. Foot ulcers are sores caused by skin breakdown. They can be exacerbated by infection. Foot ulcers tend to develop over areas of high pressure, such as bony prominences or foot deformities.

Allergies
A doctor can diagnose a rash by examining your skin. Blood tests, allergy testing, skin cultures, or a biopsy may be used to help determine the cause of your rash.
