You will feel better at Fenix Medical

Are you ready to feel better? Are you ready to find an effective treatment for the pain or discomfort that you’re feeling? Are you ready to lead a healthier life?

Our primary care physicians, Dr. Julian Arana and Dr. Rolando Iglesias, and our friendly medical staff and specialists, will help you find relief for common conditions such as stomach sickness or the flu (influenza).

And if you are feeling more acute or chronic pain, we can help you diagnose and manage acute and chronic conditions, such as:

  • Allergies
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Cardiovascular/Heart Disease
  • Chronic Pain
  • Diabetes
  • Headaches and Migraines
  • High Blood Pressure/Hypertension
  • Osteoporosis

No matter what pain or discomfort you’re experiencing, you can find relief for these conditions at Fenix Medical.

Dr. Arana and Dr. Iglesias are experts in identifying whether these illnesses are isolated or if you have a combination of conditions that require a more complex, specialized set of treatments. 

And if you suffer from chronic illnesses such as cardiac illnesses, gastrointestinal disease or neurological disorders, Fenix Medical will help you manage these.

Below is a list of our core medical services and benefits.

Which service are you most interested in?

Primary Care – Internal Medicine

Do you remember a time when your doctor was a trustworthy family friend, an experienced physician who treated you for many years? A doctor who knew your entire medical history first-hand — because they were your doctor during most of your life? 

Do you recall a time when you could visit or speak with your doctor while you were actually experiencing your illness — and not three or four weeks later? A healthcare system where you actually spent most of your time with your doctor, and less time in the waiting room?

That’s our goal at Fenix Medical, to bring back the traditional, personalized approach to your healthcare. We achieve it with our friendly and experienced Primary Care Doctors who build a close and trusting relationship with you, our family-oriented medical staff, our same-day appointment availability, our 24/7 staff-managed answering service and our carefully chosen network of specialist physicians.

Experienced Physicians

As Fenix Medical’s primary care physicians, Dr. Julian Arana and Dr. Rolando Iglesias are prepared to diagnose any kind of condition you are experiencing. Whether it’s a chronic pain, hypertension, diabetes, migraines, arthritis or cardiovascular disease, you’ll find relief at Fenix Medical. Depending on your condition and its severity, Dr. Arana or Dr. Iglesias will either treat you directly or refer you to a specialist in the Fenix Medical network for further evaluation and treatment.

As primary care doctors (also known as Internists), Dr. Arana and Dr. Iglesias are specially trained to take a “big picture” approach to your health. This is often necessary with older patients who suffer from multiple, complex illnesses. 

To use a football analogy, think of your primary care doctors as the “quarterbacks” on your healthcare team. Dr. Arana and Dr. Iglesias will:

  • Take a look at the overall picture of your health
  • Diagnose, treat and manage any number of acute and chronic health conditions you may be experiencing
  • Make your life easier by coordinating with different specialists and managing all of these required medical appointments 

Preventive Care/Wellness

Another huge benefit of joining the Fenix Medical family is that our primary care physicians won’t just treat you when you are sick. Their goal is to help you prevent future illnesses by promoting excellent health. 

By scheduling regular visits with your primary care physicians and our network of specialists, Fenix Medical manages your health and wellness with a holistic, proactive and preventive approach.

Their ultimate goal is to help you lead a healthier life.

If you live near Coral Gables or Hialeah, and you are ready to experience the Fenix Difference, call us today for your first appointment.

If you’ve ever been part of a different medical center, you may have experienced the need to call your doctor during off-hours with a question or concern. You probably experienced an answering service, either a recording or someone who doesn’t even work directly for the doctor — or who doesn’t even speak your language.

At Fenix Medical, one of our full-time expert bilingual staff members will answer your call, no matter what time it is.

During our office hours, Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM, if you need to speak with your Primary Care Physician, Dr. Julian Arana or Dr. Rolando Iglesias, you get a call from him that same day.

Same-Day Appointments

If you are feeling ill and urgently need to see Dr. Arana or Dr. Iglesias, our friendly medical staff will make sure they can schedule you in on the same day.

We understand how frustrating it can be to want to speak with or see your doctor, only to be told that the “next available appointment” is four weeks away.

If you are feeling the symptoms of a heart condition, an electrocardiogram, or EKG, is a standard medical test that scans for any abnormalities in your heart’s electrical activity. Our primary care physicians at Fenix Medical offer EKG exams for patients in Coral Gables, Miami, Hialeah and surrounding cities.  

Frequently Asked Questions about Electrocardiograms (EKG)

What exactly is an EKG?

An EKG is a standard medical exam that identifies abnormalities in your heart’s electrical activities. This test is designed to assess your heart rate and rhythm. The EKG can frequently detect if you are suffering from heart disease, a heart attack, an enlarged heart or abnormal rhythms that may cause heart failure. This common test displays electrical activity as line tracings that your primary care physicians can study. If Dr. Arana or Dr. Iglesias notice any abnormal activity in your EKG’s line tracings, this could be a sign that you have a heart condition. 

When should I undergo an EKG test?

Here are some of the common reasons why a primary care physician will recommend an EKG:

  • To confirm whether you actually experienced a heart attack. 
  • To discover the cause of your chest pain or symptoms.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of your heart medications.
  • If you have an implanted mechanical heart device, the EKG evaluates its functionality
  • To diagnose your heart’s general function.

What will I experience during my EKG?

When you visit Fenix Medical for your EKG, one of our medical assistants will ask you to expose your chest and lie on your back. During this non-invasive procedure, they will attach about 15 to 20 small electrodes (small sticky patches) to your chest, arms and legs. These electrodes and the machine they are connected to will measure your heart’s electrical activity as line tracings. The EKG process lasts about 10 minutes. While you are lying on your back, your medical assistant may ask you to hold your breath for a few seconds. 

What if my EKG shows an abnormality?

If your EKG line tracing results show an abnormality, it could indicate that your heart was beating slower than normal, faster than normal, or beating in an irregular manner. 

In the event of abnormalities, your primary care doctor will often request further examinations to diagnose the condition more carefully. 

Do EKGs have risks or side effects?

Because of the non-invasive nature of electrocardiogram tests, they are safe tests that rarely cause side effects.

As Fenix Medical’s primary care physicians, Dr. Julian Arana and Dr. Rolando Iglesias are prepared to diagnose any kind of condition you are experiencing. Depending on your condition and its severity, Dr. Arana or Dr. Iglesias will either treat you directly or refer you to a specialist in the Fenix Medical network for further evaluation and treatment.

Dr. Arana and Dr. Iglesias have carefully handpicked the Fenix Medical network of specialists, which include Cardiologists, Neurologists, Oncologists, Gynecologists, Rheumatologists, Dermatologists, Podiatrists, Gastroenterologists, Heart Surgeons, Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctors, Pain Management Doctors and more.

A healthcare “team” approach for effective treatment

While primary care doctors such as Dr. Arana and Dr. Iglesias are specially trained to take a holistic approach to your health, some patients — particularly older patients — suffer from multiple, complex illnesses. This requires a team approach to treat effectively.

To use a football analogy, think of your primary care doctors as the “quarterbacks” on your healthcare team. Dr. Arana and Dr. Iglesias will:

  • Take a look at the overall picture of your health
  • Diagnose, treat and manage any number of acute and chronic health conditions you may be experiencing
  • Make your life easier by coordinating with different specialists and managing all of these required medical appointments

That coordination work can be overwhelming for patients. Let Fenix Medical handle all the logistical details of your appointments.

If you are ready for a stress-free healthcare experience, call Fenix Medical for your first appointment.

Need a ride to Fenix Medical or to one of our specialists?

Call us to schedule your free transportation

If you live anywhere in Miami-Dade County, Fenix Medical can provide you with free transportation to our offices or network specialists. One of our comfortable passenger vans can pick you up, get you to your appointment on time, and then get you back home safely.

If you have trouble walking, just let our medical staff know so that our transportation specialists can help you step up and step down from the van safely.

In order for your Fenix Medical Primary Care Physicians to properly diagnose, evaluate and monitor your health, we will conduct detailed and reliable laboratory tests. The results of these lab tests will help Dr. Arana and Dr. Iglesias make the best treatment decisions and recommendations. 

For example, your lab test results will help Dr. Arana and Dr. Iglesias detect any disease as early as possible, plan the best treatments, and then monitor the results. 

Our world-class laboratory partners, Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp, are equipped with state-of-the-art technology for fast and precise analyses of your clinical tests. 

Here are some of the lab tests you may receive at Fenix Medical:

  • Blood tests
  • Urinalysis
  • Stool tests
  • Drug tests
  • Hematology
  • Mononucleosis testing
  • Specimen testing
  • Yeast infection testing

Wondering if you might have had Covid-19 in the past and whether you now have the antibodies? During Open Enrollment, from Oct. 15 to Dec. 31, you can get a free Antibody Diagnostic Test at Fenix Medical. 

The Antibody Test, also known as a serological test, is a blood test that can determine if you were once infected with Covid-19. If your test results show the presence of specific antibodies, your body may have developed the blood proteins necessary to fight Covid-19. The Antibody Test won’t tell you if you are currently infected because it can take up to three weeks to develop antibodies after Covid-19 symptoms appear.

What are the benefits of an Antibody Test?

Taking the Antibody test has several benefits:

  • You’ll know if you ever had Covid-19. 
  • Your test results can guide your doctor on what treatments to recommend for you. 
  • It can help researchers understand how prevalent and deadly the virus is.
  • It can help researchers predict how the virus could impact us in the future.
  • It can help researchers understand why the virus affects certain people more severely than others. 
  • You’ll know if you can donate your plasma and help others recover from Covid-19.
  • It can help researchers develop a vaccine. 

What can I expect during an Antibody Test?

The process is fast and simple. You don’t need to be a Fenix Medical member or have insurance. 

A Fenix Medical expert will conduct your AntiBody Test by pricking your finger or drawing blood in a more traditional manner. We will then inspect the blood for two types of antibodies: IgM (these develop early on during your Covid-19 infection) and IgC (which we can usually detect after you have recovered from the virus). If we detect the IgC, it’s more probable that you have built up some level of immunity than if we only detect IgM.

If I have the Covid-19 antibodies, does this mean I’m immune?

No. Just because your test results show that you have IgC or IgM antibodies, it doesn’t mean you won’t catch Covid-19 again. Scientists don’t have enough evidence yet to determine if someone who has recovered from the virus is immune to it. Until more research and evidence emerges, you should continue to take all precautions.
