With aging comes new challenges: more screenings, more treatments, and more preventative care guidance. Another challenge: finding a medical provider that you can entrust your health to (or your aging parent’s health).
Enter: San Antonio-based Gonzaba Medical Group, an independent physician-owned medical group whose nearly 80 providers specialize in providing healthcare to seniors. For 60+ years, they have made it their mission to treat their patients “Como Familia, Like Family.”
Here are four ways Gonzaba Medical Group serves local seniors:
Senior-specialized + patient-centered
Physicians and specialists personally and medically get to know each patient to establish a long-term relationship and ensure individualized care. The medical group also primarily treats seniors (read: they’re experts in the field of senior-focused care).
Total approach to senior healthcare
From primary care to specialized services to in-house advanced imaging, seniors will have comprehensive care at their fingertips — with the added bonus of nine locations throughout San Antonio.
Services include:
- Primary care
- Oncology/hematology
- Rheumatology
- Endocrinology
- Neurology
- Podiatry
- Physical therapy + rehabilitation
- Lab and imaging services
- Acute/Chronic illness care
- Palliative care
- Wound care
- Diabetes management
With a vast network of services, physicians frequently work directly with other in-house physicians — meaning seniors receive consistent and coordinated care.
Telemedicine
When mobility or transportation is an issue, seniors can still receive care through Gonzaba Now Telemedicine, an online appointment service available seven days a week from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. via phone, tablet, or computer. Seniors will be able to talk live to a healthcare provider and can expect the same quality of care they would receive in-person.
Wellness programs + senior events
In addition to hosting hundreds of senior events throughout San Antonio, the Gonzaba Medical Group has two event centers offering classes like Chair Yoga, Zumba, arts and crafts, and more to keep seniors active and connected with peers for emotional and mental wellbeing. Additionally, seniors have access to health education sessions and wellness programs.
Bonus: Gonzaba Medical Group accepts most insurances, including Medicare.*
