About Dr. Acosta
“It is my goal to make a difference in the lives of my patients. Helping them understand their disease and together coming up with a treatment plan to achieve wellness physically but mentally and emotionally as well. Helping them improve their quality of life which will also impact their loved ones in a positive way. In this journey my patients become my extended family. As a physician treating patients with chronic disorders, I develop long term relationships with them. They know I care and will always have their best interest in mind. This is what I find most rewarding, and these are the reasons why I am so passionate about what I do.”
