It can be confusing and frustrating—especially during periods of dire illness—to control your medical treatment and communicate with new doctors. At Santa Maria Medicine we will advocate for you as a patient. If you find yourself in the emergency room—we will be a step-ahead, speaking with your ER physicians and helping to explain your medical history. More patients avoid unnecessary, repetitive or ineffective treatment by having one doctor follow them throughout their lives. - [Blog](https://santamariamedicine.com/2908-2/) - [et_pb_section admin_label=”Section” fullwidth=”on” specialty=”off”][et_pb_fullwidth_post_title admin_label=”Fullwidth Post Title” title=”on” meta=”off” author=”off” date=”on” categories=”off” comments=”off” featured_image=”on” featured_placement=”above” parallax_effect=”on” parallax_method=”on” text_orientation=”center” text_color=”light” text_background=”on” text_bg_color=”#0c71c3″ title_all_caps=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”2913″ title_font=”|||on|”] [/et_pb_fullwidth_post_title][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=”Section” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_blog admin_label=”Blog” fullwidth=”on” include_categories=”3,4,5,6,1″ show_thumbnail=”on” show_content=”off” show_more=”on” show_author=”off” show_date=”on” show_categories=”off” show_comments=”off” show_pagination=”on” offset_number=”0″ use_overlay=”off” background_layout=”light” use_dropshadow=”off” header_font=”|||on|” use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#dddddd” border_style=”double” border_width=”5″] [/et_pb_blog][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section] - [Support Groups](https://santamariamedicine.com/support-groups/) - Support groups for Santa Maria Medicine.
