To provide comprehensive and person-centered care, Dr. Dominique Broutin offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and support the health of older adults:
- Arterial Blood Gas Test (ABG): This simple blood test helps assess your blood's acid-base balance, crucial for managing conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Electrocardiogram (EKG): An EKG is a vital tool in monitoring the effectiveness of your heart medication and adjusting your treatment plan as needed, optimizing your heart health and overall quality of life.
- Hysterectomy: In some cases, a hysterectomy may be recommended to remove abnormal uterine tissue detected during other examinations, helping to diagnose and manage potential health problems.
- Local Anesthesia: Local anesthesia numbs a specific area of your body, making minor procedures like biopsies or wound care more comfortable.
- Ambulatory Phlebectomy: This outpatient procedure, ambulatory phlebectomy, helps manage varicose veins, a common condition in older adults, improving circulation and reducing the risk of complications.
- Intensive Outpatient Treatment for Substance Abuse: As a key part of a senior's comprehensive care plan, intensive outpatient treatment offers a less restrictive alternative to inpatient programs, allowing them to continue living at home while addressing substance abuse issues.
