High Blood Pressure care at home in Essex County

A blood pressure taken after a stressful drive and twenty minutes in a waiting room is not your blood pressure. Home readings are a better guide, and treating the wrong number in either direction causes real harm.

Managing high blood pressure without the trips to an office

Essex County is a short drive east for us, and we cover it from the Oranges and Montclair through to Livingston, Millburn and the Caldwells.

A clinician comes to your home anywhere in Essex County with a portable exam kit and your chart already open. Visits run 45 to 60 minutes, which is the time it takes to examine you properly, review every medication in the house and write a plan your family can follow. Whether you are looking for a house call doctor, a visiting physician or in-home medical care for a senior parent in Essex County, this is that service.

Getting the number right

We check your own monitor against ours, show you how to use it properly, and set up a simple record. White coat hypertension leads to overtreatment, and overtreatment in older adults causes dizziness, falls and fractures.

Adjusting treatment safely

We check blood pressure sitting and standing, because a drop on standing is the thing that puts people on the floor. Kidney function and electrolytes are monitored when medication changes, with the blood drawn at your table.

After a hospital stay in Essex

If you have recently been discharged from Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston or Mountainside Medical Center in Montclair, we can usually visit within two to three days to reconcile the discharge medication list against what is actually in the house. We are independent and not affiliated with any hospital system.

Towns we cover in Essex County

Belleville, Bloomfield, Caldwell, Cedar Grove, Essex Fells, Fairfield, Glen Ridge, Livingston, Maplewood, Millburn and Short Hills, Montclair, Nutley and every other town in the county.
