Whether you’re managing diabetes, high blood pressure, or another ongoing condition, we make it easier to stay on top of your health.
At NOLA Care, chronic care is more than prescriptions — it’s about partnership. Each 30–60 minute visit includes time to discuss your symptoms, goals, and challenges. Together, we’ll build a care plan that blends western and holistic medicine, helps manage side effects, and supports your overall well-being. If specialty care is needed, we coordinate referrals so you always have a trusted hub for your health.

Think of us as your first stop and your continual partner on this journey. If you suspect you have a chronic disease, we can help diagnose you. 
And for those who are already diagnosed, think of us as your in-between care. Whereas specialists see you only once every 6-12 months, we help you in manage daily life in between. Our chronic disease management focuses on regular monitoring, medication adjustments, lifestyle support, and early symptom detection to keep you healthy and prevent complications. We can help you manage ongoing conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thyroid disorders, asthma, and more. 
The reason why so many people choose to have a specialist and a chronic disease management primary care practice is because most specialists only see you every 3, 6, or 12 months but you are left with dealing with the effects of a chornic disease 365 days a year. Having a supportive medical partner in your corner to manage the disease during the in-between can make a world of difference.

No, not necessarily. In most cases, it's still important to have a specialist in your corner. If you don't have one, we can diagnose you and then refer you to a trusted specialist in North Florida. Once you establish care, we'll work with you in between your visits to manage your day-to-day and quality of life. That may mean managing your symptoms, adjusting your medications, guiding your through lifestyle changes, and more. The goal is to help improve your quality of life.
