Ever feel like your healthcare information gets lost along the way? You tell your cardiologist one thing, your therapist another, and by the time you get back to your primary care doctor, you’re carrying a mountain of paperwork and a lot of "wait, what did they say?" moments.
At Fishtown Medicine, we think your doctors should be talking to each other, not just to you. We’re big fans of Coordinated Care, the medical equivalent of making sure every musician in the orchestra is playing the same song.
Why "Teamwork Makes the Dream Work" In Healthcare
When your medical team is in sync, magic happens. You spend less time repeating your history and more time actually getting better. Here is how we bridge the gap between your different providers:
With your permission, we’ll handle the heavy lifting. We can share relevant labs, clinical notes, and treatment updates so everyone is looking at the same data.
Conflicting advice? Duplicate medications? We help you navigate the noise and streamline your treatment so it makes sense for you.
Sometimes you need a doctor to talk to a doctor. We’re happy to hop on the phone or send a secure message to your endocrinologist or psychiatrist to advocate for your specific needs.
After a major specialist appointment, we can request the records and sit down with you to translate the "med-speak" into a clear, actionable plan.
From Cardiologists to Counselors
Whether you’re seeing a specialist for a physical condition or a therapist for your mental well-being, we treat the "whole you." Your mental health journey and your physical health journey are two sides of the same coin, and we want to make sure your care plan reflects that.
The Fishtown Promise: We don’t want you to be the middleman. We’ll take the lead on communication so you can focus on the most important thing; feeling better.
