Area of care

Family Medicine

Family Medicine is the foundation of the care: a broad view of health that follows people over time and coordinates care in an integrated way.

Care that stays with you

Instead of looking at each symptom separately, Family Medicine seeks to understand the whole person: their history, family, work and habits.

This long-term relationship makes it easier to notice changes, prevent problems and organize care more clearly.

When it can help

Routine health monitoring and prevention, check-ups, organizing tests, chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and metabolic changes, as well as complaints that don't yet have a clear explanation.

It is also a good starting point if you want an overview of your health before deciding on next steps.

Care coordination

When needed, Dr. Katia provides referrals to other professionals and follows your progress, helping you bring all the information together into a single plan.
