Hello Yelp Subscribers;
It took a few years, but I finally made it to Georgetown, TX in 2006. I arrived with some "underlying" medical conditions. So I contacted a well-known clinic in Round Rock. Mainly because this clinic had a large number of physicians available. Practicing general and specific areas of medicine.
A turning point away from this clinic came in 2012 when I became extremely ill while on vacation in Hawaii. So sick, that I had to make an emergency room visit, via ambulance, to a local hospital near Kona.
The emergency room physician made an initial diagnosis (Pneumonia & Costocondritus) and recommended I return home to follow up with my "General Practice" physician in Round Rock.
While en-route home, about a nine hour trip, my wife made an appointment with my "personal" physician in Round Rock. Supplying him with the "initial" diagnosis from the emergency room physician in Hawaii and a contact number should he want "clinical notes.".
Upon arrival at the clinic he took one look at me, no examination , and asked "why I was there and not in the hospital." Hardly an empathetic response from a physician I had been seeing by for over 6 years.
So enter Dr. Joseph Hermosa, a "general practice physician" with expertise in internal medicine. Dr. Hermosa has treated me since 2006. Tracking issues involving nephritis, hypertension, hyperglycemia and reviewing blood chemistry on a regular basis. All of this, and performing physical examinations on a quarterly basis.
Of possible interest to geriatrics like myself, is the fact that he makes "house" calls. Which means you do not have to travel to an office potentially sharing a waiting room with sick or contagious patients.
Dr Joseph Hermosa, is a kind, empathetic, and accessible physician. I cannot over-emphasize these qualities. Between scheduled appointments, I have contacted Dr. Joseph Hermosa via email , to get his input on various issues that are important to me. Such as the scorpion sting that refuses to heal. In addition, during June of 2018 I was hospitalized for hip surgery; a "Revision."
Dr. Hermosa showed up at my bedside even though he was not involved in the surgery. I was so surprised all I could say was ; "How did you know I was here?" With a smile he responded, "I have my contacts."
I'm not certain if Dr Hermosa is accepting new patients. But if you are interested In a knowledgeable and empathetic physician please contact Monica Tobar @ (512)630-1969. read more
