OK really wanted to put 4 stars... but I felt the need to counter balance the 1 star review bc they mention the care over a decade declining so to me that means at one point it was more than a few stars... OK so here's the thing: Dr. Abusuwa is available #1. Yes, you can end up with the PA etc. BUT if you want DR. A, you simply state that when making the WEEKDAY appointment. Dr. A is NOT for those who want the more hardcore meds, he pretty well will not prescribe things that are dangerously addictive (with emergency exceptions for short term). With the opiod and benzo epidemics here (and everywhere) this is actually a good thing. Dr. A I've been going to for well over 12 years and he has gone out of his way many times for me. He's handled my: regular colds, allergies, auto accident needs, referral appointments made for me, pain management (without addiction issues), in house PT, gyno stuff, BiPolar, anxiety, and most recently: weight loss! From 09/10/2020 to today 12/28/2020 with his (and his APRN GEORGETTE KHOURY in particular) I am down 44.6 pounds!!!!! Do I think they are the most ideal in every capacity? No. But, overall... the convenience... the concern for LONG TERM health (versus oh here take a pill feel no pain... and worry about the side effects later) .. and the genuine care they show me I'm very happy. The turnover is for a few reasons... started with the office manager having to step back to take care of her family due to an emergency a few years back... and now from what I've overheard and kind of figured out along the way... they tend to train a lot of extended family members who are graduating in various medical fields. So sometimes it feels rude because you get the impression that you are not part of some inside joke if you will... But... it's not a bad thing that they are helping give new medical professionals a start in the family business. Last thing, when my daughter was a minor she had her forehead sliced open above her eye really bad but she (age 15 or so) didn't want to go to the dang hospital... in desperation I drove her the 3 miles to Dr. A... who's staff immediately took her before asking all the questions (payments etc) just grabbed her and Dr. A sutured her up immediately... way faster than the ER would have been... and with damn near plastic surgeon level artistry. It really should have left a huge scar I firmly believe this with all my heart... and it is honestly not even noticeable when you look for it now! It's been about 10 years but within months you just couldn't see it because DR. A is that good at suturing ... I haven't had insurance in years (I will in a few days) but I haven't needed any because Amana Medical Center has an extremely affordable selfpay rate that is pretty much the same as most office visits WITH insurance before your deductible. You don't wait long at all for scheduled appointments, pre-covid I almost always could get a same day appointment... and now the telehealth option is just simply amazing, convenient and even more affordable. Oh, and they set you up with a (free) account with TalkPHR where you can see ALL your file... the notes, the prescriptions, the referrals... every visit every entry every vital sign etc.

About Hepatitis test

Who should get tested for hepatitis?

Anyone who has been exposed to risk factors associated with hepatitis should consider getting tested. This includes individuals who have shared needles, engaged in unprotected sex, have traveled to countries with high hepatitis prevalence, or have been in close contact with a person who has hepatitis. According to the CDC, people born between 1945 and 1965, often referred to as baby boomers, are also at a higher risk and should get tested.

Importance of getting tested

Hepatitis, particularly types B and C, can lead to serious health issues like liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Early detection through testing allows for timely treatment, potentially preventing these severe complications. Moreover, individuals who are aware of their hepatitis status can take steps to prevent transmitting the disease to others.

Hepatitis testing options in New Smyrna Beach, FL:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics provide convenient, same-day testing for hepatitis. One such location is the Parrish Medical Center in nearby Titusville, FL. You can book a same-day or next-day testing appointment through Solv.

Primary care providers

Your primary care provider can also conduct a hepatitis test during a regular check-up. If you don't have a primary care provider, Solv can help you find one in the New Smyrna Beach area.

Free STD testing and community health centers

Community health centers often offer free or low-cost STD testing, including for hepatitis. AdventHealth Centra Care in Orlando, FL, is one such center.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits are another convenient option. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent back to a lab for analysis.

Prevalence of hepatitis in New Smyrna Beach

While specific data for New Smyrna Beach is not readily available, Volusia County, where New Smyrna Beach is located, has seen a steady increase in hepatitis cases in recent years, mirroring national trends. According to the CDC, this increase is largely due to the ongoing opioid crisis, which has led to a rise in needle sharing among drug users.

Risk factors related to hepatitis in New Smyrna Beach

Risk factors in New Smyrna Beach are likely similar to those in other parts of the country. These include unprotected sex, sharing needles, or close contact with a person who has hepatitis. The opioid crisis, which affects communities across the country, including Volusia County, is a significant risk factor.

Other STDs in New Smyrna Beach

Hepatitis is not the only STD affecting residents of New Smyrna Beach. Other common STDs include gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis. As with hepatitis, testing for these STDs is available at local urgent care centers, primary care providers, community health centers, and through at-home testing kits.
