• Primary Care
  Vitamin B12 – Tests are available to determine if a patient has a B12 deficiency.  Even at levels only slightly lower than normal, a range of symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and poor memory may be experienced.  If a patient is deficient, we will administer B12 injections; however, it is the patient’s responsibility to obtain the prescription from their primary care physician.  Please see a nurse or physician for more details.
• High Cholesterol
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Electrocardiogram
  An electrocardiogram, or EKG, is a test that measures the electrical impulses in the heart.  With each heartbeat, an impulse, or “wave”, travels through the heart.  This causes the heart to squeeze and pump blood through your body.
• Pneumonia

  Flu Vaccinations – Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialists, Inc. provide yearly flu vaccinations.  Due to changes in timing and duration of “flu seasons,” the availability may change, but vaccinations should begin in September and continue throughout the influenza season, into December, January, and possibly beyond.  Please see a nurse or physician for more details.
