General Practitioners

Osteoporosis
Riverside Medical Clinic is one of a few clinics to have an onsite Dexa Bone Mineral Density scanner. This is a low-radiation method of measuring how much calcium is in the bones. The diagnosis is painless and usually done in under 10 minutes.
Headaches
Arthritis
Your immune system normally guards your body against invaders, such as bacteria. It produces antibodies and cells to fight off the bad germs. With an immune system disorder, the body mistakes part of itself as the enemy and attacks it â€“ usually your joints, skin or tissue, although all diseases are different. For example, in the case of rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system produces antibodies that attack the lining of the joints. This causes inflammation, swelling, pain and, if left untreated, permanent joint damage. In the case of type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakenly attacks an organ, the pancreas. In this case your Endocrinologist may refer you to, or work with the Ruheumatology department.
Fibromyalgia
The basic theory behind pain is that, in order for there to be pain, it must have a nerve supply, be susceptible to injury, and stimulation should cause pain. More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, the kind that doesnâ€™t go away. Itâ€™s defined as pain that lasts three months or longer. Examples include arthritis, Shingles, Fibromyalgia, frequent migraines, back and neck injuries, muscular and surgical pain that doesnâ€™t heal correctly.
Sinusitis
Medical Weight Loss
Fit Kids & Teens is Riverside Medical Clinicâ€™s six-month physician-supervised, multi-disciplinary weight-management program designed to empower children and adolescents to become more physically fit, achieve a healthier lifestyle, and to reduce obesity and associated health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver and heart disease.
Rheumatology
Riverside Medical Clinicâ€™s rheumatology department diagnoses and treats musculoskeletal disease and systemic autoimmune conditions. Itâ€™s part of a group of diseases that can affect your joints, muscles and bones causing pain, stiffness and sometimes, deformity. Common conditions that rheumatologists treat include...
Nutritional Counseling
This multidisciplinary program is designed to assist participants on the road to developing a healthier lifestyle. Monday or Wednesday evening classes include nutrition counseling and activity education in a group support setting. A physicianâ€™s referral and participation in the Healthy Weight classes (see class description) are required prior to starting Lighten Up. After receiving a referral, participants will be contacted by mail with class dates and information.
Pediatric Care
Rheumatologists complete three years of extra training after medical school with a residency in either internal medicine or pediatrics. Some receive training in both. After their residency, they undertake a two or three year fellowship to learn more about chronic musculoskeletal and autoimmune conditions. Then they take an exam to become board certified. This must be retaken every ten years. In addition, they receive continuing education in the field every year.
Primary Care
Infectious disease (ID) specialists are physicians with extra training in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Many infections can be treated by your primary care provider. However, your doctor may refer you to an ID specialist if the infection is accompanied by a high fever or doesnâ€™t respond to treatment. In that way, ID specialists are like the medical detectives at Riverside Medical Clinic. Theyâ€™re called in when an illness is hard to diagnose.
Smoking Cessation
It isn’t easy, but we know you can stop smoking. Our instructor will teach you how to take control and provide you the latest techniques to make you smoke free. Call for class dates or for more information.
Ear Infections
We feature hearing health care professionals and testing to get you on the path to better hearing.Â The first step will be to get to know you. Your medical history and any concerns you may have. Genetics, your work environment, injuries, allergies, ear infections and ear wax all contribute to hearing issues. After that, weâ€™ll set up a hearing test. Itâ€™s easy and totally painless. Youâ€™ll sit in a quiet room and wear headphones. Then your hearing care professional will ask you to listen to tones. We might also use recorded or live speech to tones. To measure how well your eardrum is moving, we can test the reflexes of the middle ear muscles.
Sleep Disorders
Conditions of the throat â€“ ENT specialists can manage and treat conditions that affect your singing, eating, swallowing and digestion. This includes anything from hoarseness or sore throat to tonsil or adenoid infection to reflux, snoring and sleep disorders.
Family Practice
Some people prefer the idea of one doctor who can treat their entire familyâ€™s illnesses for continuity of care. Family practitioners can treat patients as young as infants through adulthood. Knowing an entire family can also make it easier to capture patient history. Female patients can even go to their family practice physician instead of a gynecologist for routine pap smears. But you also donâ€™t have to have a family to see a family practitioner. While itâ€™s true that some family medicine doctors can also have specialties, their focus is primarily on outpatient care of patients of all ages.
High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
Urgent Care is designed to provide patients treatment for non-life threatening conditions on short notice. Our Urgent Care Centers are staffed with specially trained physicians and experienced nurses.
Constipation
Erectile Dysfunction
Infectious Diseases
The wide use of effective antibiotics, immunization for many childhood illnesses and the eradication of some diseases such as polio may lead some to believe that infectious diseases are no longer a major public health threat. However, new diseases emerge and old diseases rebound, sometimes in drug-resistant forms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), infectious diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Electrocardiogram
Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) â€“ This is a quick, safe and painless test. It assesses the electrical beats of your childâ€™s heart. Small stickers called electrodes will be placed on your childâ€™s chest, arms and legs. We can detect when the body sends an electrical signal to begin a new heartbeat. This information is recorded on a graph for the provider. This measures the strength and timing of electrical signals as they pass through the heart. With this test, your provider checks for...
Bronchitis
Diarrhea
Pneumonia

Ultrasound
Ultrasound technology has been used by medical professionals for more than 50 years. Ultherapy uses it to deliver collagen-boosting treatment to the deep layers of skin tissue without disturbing the surface of your skin. This energy stimulates collagen growth.

Skin Cancer
Here in sunny Southern California, our skin is constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This can cause problems from premature aging to skin cancer. One of every three cancers diagnosed in the U.S. is skin cancer. The good news is that the most common types of skin cancer have a cure rate of more than 95 percent if treated early.
