What is preventive medicine?

Preventive medicine at Florida Concierge Medicine & Wellness focuses on preventing common illnesses, diseases, and injuries. While Dr. Acloque also treats medical problems after they arise, his main focus is preventing bothersome medical problems from occurring in the first place.

What are some examples of preventive medicine?

Some of the highly effective preventive medicine services available at Florida Concierge Medicine & Wellness include:

• In-house labs
• In-house electrocardiograms (EKGs)
• COVID-19 testing and treatments
• Vaccinations
• Medically supervised weight loss
• Lifestyle-change counseling

Dr. Acloque also screens for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other chronic diseases and their risk factors. He can treat many of these conditions to reduce the risk of serious complications, such as a heart attack or stroke.

What should I expect during preventive medicine evaluations?

During your visit to Florida Concierge Medicine & Wellness, Dr. Acloque sees you in his office, virtually via telehealth, or in your home during a home visit. He weighs you, checks your vital signs, and completes a physical examination. He assesses your eyes, ears, breathing, throat, neck, abdomen, heartbeat, limbs, and more to look for potential problems.

He also offers pelvic exams and Pap tests for women and prostate screenings in men. After your exam, Dr. Acloque may recommend in-house lab draws, an EKG, imaging procedures, biopsies, allergy testing, or asthma tests to detect or rule out common medical problems.

He may suggest you make healthy lifestyle changes, lose weight, take prescription medications, undergo a minor procedure, receive vaccinations, or see a specialist.

Dr. Acloque follows up with you regularly to ensure you remain as healthy as possible.

How often should I schedule preventive medicine visits?

See. Dr. Acloque at Florida Concierge Medicine & Wellness at least every year for a routine wellness checkup. If you develop signs of an injury, illness, or disease, call his office any time to talk with him or visit in person. He’s happy to answer your questions and address your concerns, and he takes as much time as you need.
