Patients' Choice Award Cites Dr. Clark Philogene and Dr. Nereida Diaz-Johnson
Presented by MDx Medical, Inc., the Patients' Choice Award is based upon on-line patient reviews for all 720,000 active physicians in the United States.
The award takes into account patient ratings on bedside manner, staff courtesy, time spent with the patient, accuracy of diagnosis, promptness, degree of follow-up, and overall impression of care.
We are proud of these achievements and look forward to continuing to provide quality, personalized care to our patients.

MONTHLY HEALTH TIPS
 February
Heart Health Month
Despite great improvements in cardiovascular care, cardiovascular disease is still the number one cause of death and disability in the United States for men and women. And heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are actually the number one killer of American women.
Unfortunately, by the time heart problems are detected, the underlying cause is usually quite advanced.
During American Heart Month learn how to take care of your heart. A good first step in lowering your risk of heart disease is to learn which dietary fats lower your LDL cholesterol and which ones don't.
Also the American Heart Association recently upgraded its Website with lots of new, helpful information, including "Life's Simple 7 Steps" to live better, as well as a wealth of general information and good dietary tips.
Get to know your cholesterol levels and, as always, discuss them with your doctor.
 For more comprehensive information on your heart, healthy living tips and treatment options, visit the American Heart Association's web page by clicking here.
