When you come in with an illness or injury, we focus on getting you better. Wellness exams are done when you are healthy, so we can focus on keeping you that way. Dr. Shah will review your medical history, conduct a detailed physical exam, and offer the appropriate vaccines, immunizations, lab tests, and health screenings, including for breast cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and osteoporosis.
Our wellness exams include:
- Annual physicals for adults
- Well-child visits and immunizations
- Well-woman exams including Pap test
- School and sports physicals
As a patient-centered medical home, Trinity Family Health Care also offers welcome and subsequent annual wellness and preventive care for Medicare-eligible patients.
If you have symptoms of an illness or injury for more than a week, it is time to call a doctor. Symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, and fever are usually signs of an infection that needs medical attention. A physical examination and lab testing, if necessary, can aid in a diagnosis.
Dr. Shah diagnoses and treats numerous acute conditions such as:
- Acute Asthma Attacks
- Falls and Contusions
- Flu
- Fractures (Minor)
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Pneumonia
- Shingles
- Shortness of Breath
- Skin Rashes
- Sinusitis / Upper Respiratory Infections
- Sleep Apnea
- Sprains and Strains
- Strep Throat
- Urinary Tract Infections
- And much more
Some conditions require ongoing medical care and active self-management to maintain health and wellness, despite illness or injury. We call this chronic disease management. The best outcomes are achieved when the patient can open up about how they are really feeling, so that Dr. Shah can offer the most appropriate advice or treatment. Together, we can minimize the impact disease has on your life.
Some of the most common chronic illnesses that Dr. Shah diagnoses and manages include:
Whether you have a chronic illness or acute (short-term) health problem, if you end up in the hospital, Dr. Shah will continue overseeing your health care. He is on staff at Medical Center of Trinity and Florida Hospital of North Pinellas, which means that if you are admitted to one of those hospitals, he can provide inpatient service for you there.
If you are admitted to Regional Medical Center at Bayonet Point or North Bay Hospital, Dr. Shah will communicate directly with the hospitalist in charge of your care to make sure nothing is overlooked. With Dr. Shah on your medical team, you can feel confident in the care you receive in and out of the hospital.
Dr. Shah is a primary care provider, which means he provides the first response to your ailment. We do our best to address as many concerns as possible in our office to save you time and money. When further testing or advanced care is needed, you will receive a referral for a hand-picked specialist. Even after you see the specialist, Dr. Shah will continue playing an active role in your care, making sure the specialist meets Dr. Shah’s high standards.
