Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Virgilio Pino 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:
- Migraine: Migraines don't have to control your life. By working with your healthcare provider, you can develop a personalized plan involving medication, relaxation strategies, and dietary adjustments to lessen the impact of these headaches and enjoy more fulfilling days.
- Anemia: Anemia means your blood has fewer red blood cells than it should, making you feel sluggish and tired. Fortunately, with your doctor's help, through simple blood tests and often with dietary changes or medication, anemia is treatable, helping you maintain your independence.
- Vitamin D Deficiency: Vitamin D is crucial for strong bones and a healthy immune system, and low levels are surprisingly common as we age. Taking a vitamin D supplement, as recommended by your doctor, can help prevent falls and improve your overall well-being.
- Herpes Zoster Without Complication: While shingles can be painful, effective antiviral medicines are available to manage the rash and nerve pain, helping you maintain your daily activities and independence.

- Mastodynia: Managing mastodynia, or breast pain, involves identifying the cause and focusing on relief. This can involve medication, adjustments to your bra or lifestyle, and may help maintain your independence by reducing pain.
- Nasopharyngitis: Nasopharyngitis, or a common cold, is a viral infection of the nose and throat causing congestion, runny nose, and sore throat, often resolving on its own with rest and fluids.
- Rosacea: Rosacea is a common skin condition causing redness, bumps, and sometimes pimples, mainly on the face, that can be effectively managed with skincare routines and medication to improve comfort and appearance.
- Urinary Stones: Urinary stones can cause significant discomfort and interfere with your daily activities; fortunately, a family doctor can help you create a treatment plan, including medication and changes to your diet and fluid intake, to manage your symptoms and prevent further complications.
- Benign Chronic Pain Syndrome: Experiencing persistent pain without a clear medical cause? Benign chronic pain syndrome means your pain is real, and we can work together to find ways to ease it and improve your quality of life.
- Tobacco Use Disorder: Tobacco use disorder is a serious condition where someone struggles to quit smoking or using tobacco products, despite wanting to, and it can be successfully managed with support and treatment.
- Dry Eyes: Dry eyes can make it harder to read, drive, or enjoy your favorite activities. Fortunately, treatment options are available to reduce discomfort and improve your quality of life as you age.
