"Coronado Internal Medicine is a primary care internal medicine practice dedicated to caring for the whole patient, and not just his or her disease. We believe medical care is a dialogue between the physician and the patient, and we book 30-45 minute visits so patients have time to share their thoughts and concerns. Preventative medicine is the cornerstone of our model, yet we also manage both routine and complex chronic medical conditions."
