A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. William Choisser provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Bedsores: Maintaining good nutrition and hydration supports healthy skin and reduces your risk of developing pressure ulcers (bedsores), a common and preventable complication.
• Rash: A rash, while sometimes harmless, can be a sign of an underlying condition, so early detection through regular checkups is crucial for preventing complications.
• Cough: A persistent cough could be a sign of a developing respiratory issue, so addressing it early can help prevent more serious problems.
• Peripheral Nerve Disorders: Managing underlying conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure is crucial in preventing damage to your peripheral nerves and reducing your risk of developing related disorders.
• Acute Upper Respiratory Infection: Understanding your own body's signals and seeking medical attention when experiencing symptoms can help prevent an acute upper respiratory infection from worsening and leading to more serious health issues.
• Asthma: Early detection of asthma through simple tests is crucial for preventive care, allowing for timely treatment and minimizing long-term lung damage.
• Urinary Stones: Managing urinary stones effectively, including dietary adjustments and medication as needed, helps minimize the risk of recurrent episodes and their long-term health effects.
• Acute Pharyngitis: While many sore throats resolve on their own, recognizing symptoms early allows for appropriate management and reduces the potential for secondary bacterial infections.
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Regular health check-ups and lifestyle modifications are critical for preventing or slowing the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), allowing you to stay active and enjoy life to the fullest.
• Otitis Media: Preventive measures, such as avoiding secondhand smoke and practicing good hygiene, can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing otitis media.
• Osteopenia: Having osteopenia means your bone density is lower than average, making you more prone to fractures; proactive lifestyle changes and regular check-ups can help strengthen your bones and reduce this risk.
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Understanding the early warning signs of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and seeking prompt medical care is vital in preventing the condition from becoming a chronic and disabling illness.
