Top 10 health care tips from Tony & Joe Antonacci, Certified Public Accountants and Co-Owners of True Fit in Buffalo
"They told us if you don't do anything else, do some sun screen. You need to use a healthy dose of sunscreen," said Tony. "They were very adamant about this. They were also very adamant about wearing hats or even hats with a brim. They don't recommend wearing hats with bill caps."
Extremely high temperatures can lead to overheating and sunburn. In extreme heat, temperatures can reach close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. According to the American Cancer Society, sun exposure causes about 20,000 of the 23,000 cases of skin cancer each year in the United States. According to the CDC, more than 90 percent of people diagnosed with melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer – were spotted when the cancer was already advanced.
Tony recommends following the CDC's recommendations to avoid sunburn and sunburn-like skin reactions.
His business is unique in that he offers free medical checks for his patients, which means he sees new patients every other week. Most of his patients use their own office space, but some patients like patients that travel to Buffalo from as far as Rochester to get medical attention, he said. "This is not the way most doctors conduct business," Tony added.
"They see a full health assessment of your body. They really take a look at all your blood chemistry, your metabolic status, where your weight is, body composition, and go over every individual body system that's right in line with health," said Joe. "I don't think a patient sees a health care provider from another country, from another state, from another medical school, as much as they see our physicians here."
The partners say they aim to improve the health of their community. The numbers reflect that.
Some of the patient's visits are routine, but others provide specialized care, such as a patient with a new case of Hepatitis C. In this particular case, the patient learned he had the virus in the past, but didn't know it. "It is not something that should be a death sentence," said Tony. "The virus just needs to be managed, or left alone, and you're fine."
