Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Juan Zarza-Moreno provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Sebaceous Cysts: A sebaceous cyst is a harmless, fluid-filled lump that develops under the skin, often requiring no treatment unless it becomes painful or infected, improving your comfort and well-being.
- Dyslipidemia: Having high cholesterol (dyslipidemia) means you have too much fat in your blood, increasing your risk of heart problems; however, with proper diet, exercise, and possibly medication, you can significantly reduce this risk and enjoy a healthier, fuller life.
- Acute Upper Respiratory Infection: Feeling under the weather with a URI? Don't worry, many upper respiratory infections clear up within a week or two with plenty of rest, hydration, and possibly some over-the-counter relief like pain relievers. This ensures you can continue enjoying your daily life.
- Lipid Disorders: Managing lipid disorders involves monitoring your blood fat levels and making necessary adjustments to your diet and exercise routine, with medication if needed, to help you stay healthy and active as you age.

- Throat Pain: If your throat pain is severe or accompanied by other symptoms like fever or difficulty breathing, prompt medical attention is essential, ensuring early diagnosis and effective treatment, preventing potential complications.
- All Headaches (incl. Migraine): Migraines and other headaches can be debilitating, but with proper diagnosis and treatment, you can regain a sense of normalcy and independence.
- Thrush: If you experience creamy white patches or soreness in your mouth, it might be thrush, a yeast infection easily managed with antifungal medications, allowing you to eat and drink more comfortably.
- Foot Infection: Managing a foot infection involves keeping it clean and properly covered, as directed by your doctor, to support healing and avoid further complications, allowing you to continue your active lifestyle.
- Acute Bronchitis: Acute bronchitis involves inflammation of the tubes that carry air to your lungs, leading to a cough, sometimes with mucus; managing symptoms like cough and congestion helps you breathe easier and maintain your independence.
- Tobacco Use Disorder: Many older adults find it challenging to quit smoking, and tobacco use disorder is a common reason for this struggle; however, there are effective treatments and support programs to help.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that often responds well to antibiotics, allowing you to regain your comfort and energy and continue enjoying your daily routines.
