At Imperial Beach Health Center or Nestor Community Health Center, you will choose one physician who will oversee your healthcare. That way, you and your physician get to know each other over time. You might only deal with one concern at a particular visit, but we will consider your overall health, preferences and experiences as we create a treatment plan that works for you.
