Desert Mobile Medical

If you’re experiencing symptoms or have been potentially exposed to COVID-19, Desert Mobile Medical Concierge Physicians offers to bring multiple testing options to you at your home. Desert Mobile Medical is 100% mobile, meaning that instead of going to a doctor’s office, our doctors and healthcare practitioners will administer the test at your home. You won’t have to wait in a long line or a waiting room with other people who are being tested because of exposure or symptoms.

Our COVID-19 Nasal Swab RNA PCR Test is 99.5% sensitive and 99.9% specific which means it’s more than 99% accurate. This test involves a cotton swab on the inside of each nostril. If you’d like an alternative method of COVID-19 Testing, we also offer IgG/IgM Antibody Blood Tests and Rapid Antigen testing.

We want you to feel safe and cared for, and that’s why Desert Mobile Medical is available to answer any questions you may have about symptoms you’re experiencing during this uncertain time.

The endocrine system consists of a group of glands and organs that regulate and control various body functions by producing and secreting hormones. Hormones are chemical substances that affect the activity of another part of the body. In essence, hormones serve as messengers, controlling and coordinating activities throughout the body. These hormones or messengers, act with a positive and negative feedback mechanism on one another to maintain normal bodily function including in times of need like puberty & also in times when they are no longer needed, like in menopause.

Levels of most, but not all hormones decrease with aging. Some hormones might remain at levels once seen during early adult life and some might even increase as we age. However, endocrine function generally declines with age because hormone quality decreases and hormone receptor activity become less sensitive.

Identifying and prescribing the right medications to promote your optimal health is another way Desert Mobile Medical brings in-home medical care straight to you. Most common non-controlled medications will be available during your appointment, and controlled medication prescriptions you might need for treatment will be sent electronically for you to pick up at your local favorite pharmacy.

Medical imaging is essential to the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of conditions. These technologies give your doctor the ability to see more deeply and gain a clear picture of the underlying causes of disease.

Some of the high-quality imaging services available in our mobile practice include:

• Ultrasound, which uses sound waves to create images of organs and blood vessels
• Digital Diagnostic Imaging, which creates an x-ray image in a digital format
• Referrals or recommendations for CAT scans, MRIs, and other large equipment imaging as needed

With at-home blood draw services and mobile lab services, the most common and routine lab tests can come directly to you. Some of our diagnostic laboratory services, but not limited to, include:

• Complete Blood Count (CBC) to ascertain the possibility of anemia, infection or potential for bleeding
• Complete Metabolic Panel to monitor the effects of medication, as well as kidney health
• Hemoglobin A1C to determine your risk for Diabetes and monitoring your Diabetes
• Urinalysis to confirm the kidneys are working properly and identify signs of urinary tract infections​

Immunizations and vaccinations help teach the body’s immune system to recognize and fight invading viruses and other contagious diseases. Working with your mobile doctor, you can discuss a vaccination plan that provides the right level of protection based on your unique risk factors.

Adults often need boosters to the vaccinations they received in childhood, to prevent an encounter with these common diseases later in life:

• Measles
• Tetanus
• Whooping cough
• Chicken pox

Along with these boosters, every adult should also consider taking vaccines for COVID-19, influenza, pneumonia, shingles, and other illnesses. Desert Mobile Medical can assist you in determining what is right for you.
