A chronic condition leads to symptoms, possibly throughout life, and sometimes increases the risk of other complications. However, through an effective management program for chronic conditions from Dr. Sandra Arce-Garzon or Dr. Sergio Casaclang of Best Care Family Health Center, serving Milwaukee, WI, and the nearby region, you or your child can live a better life and ward off complications. 

Work With One Family Care Provider

It's essential to have a family care provider who's essentially the center of your or your child's care. You should work with this person carefully and regularly to make sure the condition is well controlled. This one practitioner will have a comprehensive understanding of the specifics of your or your child's case, as they're continuously monitoring your or your child's condition. They'll also be able to tell when a change is concerning and requires intervention, such as a medication change.

Educate Yourself

If it's for you or your kid, could you make sure you educate yourself adequately about the condition? When you visit our Milwaukee, WI, office, we can provide some education, but it helps you know more than what's provided. If you have any questions about resources to help, please ask. We can direct you to the right place to find up-to-date and accurate information about the condition. 

Ask Questions 

Sometimes, you may still have questions about how much research you do or the information we provide. We recommend asking us any general questions or ones specific to you or your child.  

You'll then be able to make informed decisions about the treatment and take better care of the condition at home.

Bring a Second Set of Ears

Whether the appointment is for you or your child, it could benefit you to bring another person along, such as your partner. You then have somebody else who can pick up on anything you missed. They may also ask questions you didn't think of during the visit.

Make Sure All Members of the Household Are Made Aware

Since you're mainly at home rather than in our office, we recommend informing everyone in the household of your child's condition. If something isn't right, they can intervene when necessary. For instance, if your child has an asthma attack, they'll know to grab their rescue inhaler. 

When you regularly visit Dr. Arce-Garzon or Dr. Casaclang at Best Care Family Health Center, serving Milwaukee, WI, for chronic conditions for you or your child, the condition will be better managed. This ultimately leads to the best prognosis and a better quality of life for the patient.
