Care & Prevention for Adults
Comprehensive care begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Megumi Maguchi focuses on testing and treating the entire patient – body, mind and spirit – with the goal of achieving wellness. Our services cover the full scope of outpatient geriatric and primary care, including:
- Comprehensive evaluation & testing
- Treatment for geriatric syndromes
- Primary care & treatment for many conditions
- Preventive medicine & wellness care
- Medication management
- Home-care visits (plus assisted living, nursing home & hospice visits)
When appropriate, we include the patient’s family and friends in our evaluations. Family involvement helps give Dr. M. Maguchi the complete picture of the patient’s life, plus added support for the patient. If the patient’s “family “ is out-of-state, Dr. Maguchi provides family conference calls – especially when dementia is involved – to ensure that all family members are informed about the patient’s progress.
Thorough testing & updates from Harvard Medical School
At Advanced Geriatrics & Primary Care, every evaluation includes three very thorough tests:

Medication Management
Are You Taking Multiple Medications Safely?
Many older adults in Pensacola, FL and the surrounding communities use a variety of prescription and nonprescription medications. These medications may be quite effective when taken alone, but not so good when taken in combination with other drugs. Drug interactions may be impacting a patient’s overall health and well-being. That’s why Dr. Maguchi not only does a comprehensive review and assessment of the patient’s current health status, she provides a thorough evaluation of their medications. This helps her identify any medication-related problems that may be affecting your symptoms or quality of life.
If you or someone close to you is using a combination of prescription or non-prescription medications, herbal or other dietary supplements, you will likely benefit from Dr. Megumi Maguchi’s medication assessment and ongoing management.

Patients and practitioners can easily overlook drug interactions as a possible cause of symptoms.
Medication management is an extremely important service, which Dr. Maguchi provides for all of her patients who use prescription and non-prescription drugs of any kind. Make sure you or your loved ones are taking medications properly and safely by sharing your concerns with Dr. Maguchi.
