Hospital Follow-Up Care
​You may go to any hospital you choose, and will be followed by a hospital doctor.
​
If you are hospitalized it is necessary to notify the admission staff that Dr. Luis Postigo is your primary care physician so he can be notified when you are discharged.
​
Dr. Postigo will see you within a week of being discharged from the hospital to make sure you have everything you need following a hospital stay and to make any needed changes in your medicines.
Home Health Supervision
​
Dr. Postigo works with many different home health agencies in Rochester to provide nursing and aide service to our patients who qualify. We also work with palliative care agencies.​
​
The doctor will supervise the care of these agencies to make sure it is the most effective for each patient.
Toes & Ears
​The doctor is able to clean ears and hearing aids so that our patients are better able to hear what is being said around them or on the phone.​
​Dr. Postigo also trims toenails for patients.
Some insurances require an additional copayment or coinsurance for these procedures.

In-Home X-Rays,
Cardiac Echocardiograms & Ultrasounds

We currently work with a mobile x-ray provider who is able to do ultrasounds, cardiac echocardiograms and x-rays in your own home.

This eliminates the need to go out of the home to get these services done. They are not able to provide CATscans or MRIs in the home.

​
Also, the doctor can evaluate circulation of the lower extremities if needed.
Coordination of Care

We coordinate care with other specialists, pharmacies that deliver medications to the home, and medical equipment companies that deliver equipment and oxygen to homes.

Having pain in your joints? Dr. Postigo is able to give patients joint shots to help alleviate any pain they are experiencing.
​
He is also able to remove skin tags and lesions using electro-surgery.
Immunizations
​
Every flu season Dr. Postigo is one of the first providers to offer his patient's a flu shot. This helps prevent the flu before the first case has been detected in our area - giving you the advantage.
​
Flu shots are good for 1 year from the date they are given.
At-Home Blood Draws
​
We work with mobile laboratory services who can draw blood at home. This is especially convenient for patients on Coumadin.

If you are still able to go to the lab, the doctor is more than happy to provide you with a prescription to take with you to the lab.
