International Mind, Body, and Wellness Day!

The new year has arrived and today, we celebrate the connection between the mind,
body, and overall wellness. Mindfulness, meditation, dietary choices, spirituality,
gratitude, mindset, purpose, and even the design and colors of your surroundings can
all influence your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Nothing is more important than prioritizing the best you possible, and what better time
than at the start of a new year?

Exciting News from Dr. Molly Magnano & Dr. Ish*ta Aggarwal at Pacific Rheumatology Associates!

We’re thrilled to share an exciting change at Pacific Rheumatology Associates! Starting December 2nd, 2024, Dr. Magnano and Dr. Aggarwal will transition to a personalized concierge rheumatology model. This approach is designed to ensure a more personalized level of care, allowing for a closer, more attentive patient-physician relationship.

This new model will offer patients an elevated rheumatology experience, including same or next-day appointments, direct communication, minimal waiting, longer, unrushed visits, and more!

In this model, there will be additional time for thorough consultations, continuity of care, and proactive wellness planning. Dr. Magnano and Dr. Aggarwal are looking forward to providing each patient with the time and attention they deserve.
