Alliance Desert Physicians Expanding to Better Serve Patients
Alliance Desert Physicians, the newest independent group of physicians to serve the High Desert area, is expanding its physician network and scope of services to better serve patients.
Two experienced and highly respected cardiologists, Venkat Devineni, MD, and Omer Ahmed, MD, have joined the Alliance Desert Physicians network. Patients with known or suspected cardiovascular conditions will be able to see Drs. Devineni or Ahmed through a streamlined referral process. In addition to Drs. Devineni and Ahmed, Alliance Desert Physicians patients have access to nearly 100 specialists in over 80 medical subspecialties, including gastroenterology, ear/nose/throat, orthopedics, urology, allergy, obstetrics/gynecology and pulmonary medicine.
Area seniors will also have access to a new health resource when the Senior Wellness Center opens this month. The Senior Wellness Center will provide personalized preventative health care to seniors aimed at helping them maintain independent, healthy living. Free health education lectures will be offered by Alliance Desert Physicians on such topics as healthy aging, diet and exercise, and living with heart disease. Seniors will also be able to take advantage of health screenings, such as blood sugar checks for diabetes, blood pressure screens and more. Free Medicare seminars will help seniors make informed decisions when it is time to select a physician or health plan during open enrollment. A schedule of upcoming events will soon be available in flyers and ads in local newspapers. Other services to be offered include personalized medical assessments, evaluation of medications, nutritionist consultations, routine podiatry, and disease management and referrals. The Senior Wellness Center will be located at 17259 Jasmine Street, Suite C in Victorville.
