To Your Health:
February 2020  

Picture
February is American Heart Month. To prevent heart disease
and increase awareness of its effects, Gonzaga Family Health wants our patients to know that you can make healthy changes
to lower your risk of developing heart disease. Controlling and preventing risk factors is also important for people who
already have heart disease.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure is dangerous and far too common. Talk with your health care team about a management plan. We’ve got this!

Picture
At least one in five students with ADHD does not receive needed school-based intervention services (Journal of Attention Disorders). We are the only medical practice in the region which uses the Quotient ADHD System. 
​
This tool uses advanced motion tracking technology to track a child or adult’s micro-movements while they complete a computerized test that takes about 30 minutes.

New Patients

Picture
If you are a new patient and have already scheduled an appointment for yourself or a child, this is where you need to go. You can save time on your first visit by filling out our interactive patient intake form from home. Just click "get started" below. You might want to read a few things below to remember for your first visit. We look forward to seeing you! 

On Your First Visit

There are some things you should bring with you on your first visit. You'll want to remember your photo ID and your insurance card. We accept all major credit cards and cash or check. Please be sure to let our staff know of any current medications you are taking. 

Self-Pay Patients

If you are a self-pay patient, you must pay for your visit at the time of service. Our fee is $100 for new patients and $75 for established patients. ​

West Virginia Residents

For all West Virginia insurance card holders (pediatric), please make sure that Dr. Rosario Gonzaga is listed as your child's primary care physician on the card. 

Preschool or Kindergarten Well Checks

Your child's education is very important to us. Please do not wait until August to schedule your child's preschool or kindergarten well checks, as you might not be able to get an appointment due to the volume of patients we see. This could result in a delay of entry to school! 


​Our patients have the unique benefit of having other services available right in the same building.  Gonzaga Health in LaVale, MD is actually three distinct practices that all work together — Gonzaga Family Health, Gonzaga Interventional Pain Management, and GCR Therapy Group. Some of the services available to our patients include nutritional counseling, acupuncture, interventional pain management, and adult and pediatric occupational and physical therapy.
