Westside Preventive Medicine has just received on of the Los Angeles area’s first shipments of the H1N1 flu vaccines. And unlike most mini-clinics and pharmacies, a doctor will administer the vaccines offered at Westside Preventive Medicine.
Gregory Cohen, MD, MPH, FACC, is the founder and Medical Director at Westside Preventive Medicine, and will be personally administering the vaccines. Dr. Cohen is an Internist and a cardiologist, plus he holds a Master’s Degree in Public Health.
“As a physician that cares deeply about my patient’s health, I believe that a knowledgeable physician should talk to the individual before they receive their vaccine, to make certain that there are no counter-indications or underlying health issues.” Dr. Cohen stated. “I would recommend that anyone that wants to talk to a doctor about their health issues, make an appointment to come in and we can discuss your individual medical profile, as well as offer you the H1N1 vaccination, if it is right for you.”
Westside Preventive Medicine is a patient-focused medical practice, with specialties in Cardiology, Internal Medicine, and Preventive Care. In addition to the flu vaccine, new patients can receive in-depth diagnostic testing to screen for any potential health problems and establish a plan for their continued or return to an optimum lifestyle. New patients are also given their complete medical history in a convenient notebook, so they may visit any other specialist with accurate and up-to-date records.
To schedule an appointment for the H1N1 flu vaccine, or to discuss any medical issue, please call Westside Preventive Medicine at 310-231-9500.
Westside Preventive Medicine is located at 11645 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 701, Los Angeles, CA 90025. You can visit them online at www.westsidepreventivemedicine.com
