Preventative care, which includes the aforementioned testing services we provide at Mercado Medical Practice, is medical care which focuses on detecting early signs of illness and preventing its onset rather than treating an illness after the fact.
As we age, our bodies don’t just become more vulnerable to certain illnesses; our ability to recover quickly and fully can also become compromised. Preventative care enables your physician to treat early symptoms and stop an illness from progressing, resulting in a quicker recovery and better outcomes for you.
At Mercado Medical Practice, we perform tests for the following areas of the body:
Unlike more general primary care providers, a geriatric specialist can afford a highly focused level of care that attends to your individual, specific needs as an aging adult. In the case of testing services, Dr. Mercado and Dr. Bossbaly’s specialization in geriatric care means they know exactly what to look for when viewing the results of your tests.
