Services

At Central Coast Total Wellness, we offer a range of services with a key focus on preventive care. Our mission as your primary care provider is to help you stay healthy with regular checkups and immunizations. We are also here for you when you get sick, whether it’s an occasional acute illness or support and guidance in managing a chronic condition.

Primary Care

Primary care is a patient’s main source for regular medical care, ideally providing continuity and integration of health care services. A primary care provider (PCP) is a health care practitioner who sees people that have common medical problems. According to the American Association of Family Practitioners (AAFP) Primary care includes health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling, patient education, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses in a variety of health care settings (e.g., office, inpatient, critical care, long-term care, home care, day care, etc.).

Occupational Medicine

Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM), as defined by the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine ( ACOEM), is a board-certified specialty under Preventive Medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of work-related injuries and illnesses. Occupational medicine aims to prevent diseases and promote wellness among workers.

Integrated Medicine

Integrative Medicine, as defined by the American Board of Integrative Medicine (ABOIM) and the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine, is the practice of medicine that reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals, and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing.

Internal Medicine

Doctors of internal medicine, or internists, are primary-care physicians who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of adults. General internists are those who are equipped to handle a wide variety of adult illnesses. They are specially trained to have expertise in diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness, as well as health promotion and disease prevention.

Physicals

Men’s Health

The Well Male visit is an important way to help you stay healthy. The goal of the adult well male exam is to provide evidence based guidance toward promotion of optimal health and wellbeing to prevent premature morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases. The well male exam visit includes a full checkup which focuses on preventive care for men. The visit may include immunizations, screenings, and education and counseling to help you make informed health decisions.

Women’s Health

The Well Woman visit is an important way to help you stay healthy. The goal of the adult well woman exam is to provide evidence based guidance toward promotion of optimal health and wellbeing to prevent premature morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases. The well woman exam visit includes a full check up which focuses on preventive care for women. The visit may include immunizations, screenings, and education and counseling to help you make informed health decisions.

Sports Physicals

A sports physical exam is a specific physical examination that focuses on the athlete’s health history and physical exam only as it relates to sports and is much more limited than a regular physical. It does not take the place of an annual physical. During the sports physical, the healthcare provider looks for any diseases or injuries that could make it unsafe to participate in the sport. If necessary, additional tests are performed.

Department of Transportation (DOT) Physicals

A DOT physical follows strict guidelines mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), ensuring that commercial drivers and other safety-sensitive employees are in good health to work safely. During your appointment for a DOT physical, the examiner assesses your physical and mental health to ensure no medical conditions will interfere with your ability to drive and operate a vehicle safely.

Immigration Physicals

Immigration Examination or the green card medical examination is an important step of the immigration process. The exam, to be completed by a government-authorized doctor, consists of several parts:

A review of your medical history and immunization records
A physical and mental evaluation
Drug and alcohol screening
Tests for various diseases and illnesses

The purpose of the immigration medical exam is to ensure that the person seeking a green card has no health condition that could make them “inadmissible” to the United States — meaning they’re ineligible to receive a green card.

Nutrition & Weight Loss

Obesity affects approximately 39.8 percent of adults in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Additionally, more than 70% of adults are overweight. Central Coast Total Wellness’ weight loss program will aid in the treatment of weight-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease including hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and sleep apnea.

At Central Coast Total Wellness, our weight loss program is carefully designed for long-term, sustainable, overall health and weight maintenance. We do not use a “one size fits all” approach because we know that every patient and every situation is different. We utilize a variety of tools and techniques in order to personalize a weight loss plan for each patient, including access to dietitians, fitness specialists, clinical therapists, medical practitioners, body composition tests, medications, meal replacement plans and more. Dr. Michele Horne will work with you to design the best program for your needs.
