As a Family Medicine physician, Dr. Guillermo Infante enjoys seeing children and adolescents (pediatrics), young adults, mature individuals, and seniors.

 

Dr. Guillermo uses the biopsychosocial model to approach patients; this model integrates the aspects that affect the body in health and in sickness. For instance, if a patient has a cold, Dr. Infante asks questions that aim to detect if the symptoms can be managed conservatively, and the physical examination will determine the course of action: Sinus congestion can be managed with nasal washings and perhaps intranasal corticosteroids. Sore throat if swelling and redness don’t point in the direction of a bacterial infection, can be managed with analgesics and numbing medication.

A Family Medicine practitioner can advise and guide a confused patient through the hurdles of illness. A Family Medicine practitioner can understand the emotional aspects that surround an illness and make a patient feel heard and understood, and respected.

We live in a chaotic environment where we are bombarded by information. If we trust a Family doctor, this could mean the road to recovery and lessening the burdens of illnesses. 

 

Listening to a patient, examining a patient, and coming up with a diagnosis and a plan of treatment is like a detective trying to solve a murder mystery. Some cases will be more difficult, some others will be easier, but in the end, an individual in a state of illness is a vulnerable individual. It is when we are sick that we require the most.
