Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a severe condition when the aorta, the largest blood vessel in the body, becomes enlarged and weakened in the abdominal area. The aorta carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body, and when it weakens and expands, it can rupture, causing life-threatening bleeding. AAA is potentially fatal, and early detection and treatment are critical for successful outcomes.
Symptoms of AAA may not be noticeable until it becomes a medical emergency. However, some individuals may experience abdominal or back pain or a pulsing sensation in the abdomen. Risk factors for AAA include smoking, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and a family history of the condition. Men over 65 are also at a higher risk of developing AAA.
Screening for AAA involves a non-invasive ultrasound examination that measures the size of the abdominal aorta. This screening is recommended for individuals with a higher risk of developing AAA, such as men over 65 who have ever smoked and individuals with a family history of AAA. Early detection and treatment of AAA can help prevent rupture and life-threatening bleeding.
At CoreMed Plus, we offer AAA screening as part of our comprehensive healthcare services. Our healthcare professionals can work with you to assess your risk for AAA and recommend appropriate screening tests. We prioritize early detection and prevention of AAA to help ensure our patients’ best possible health outcomes.
If you are at risk for AAA or have symptoms, seeking medical attention as soon as possible is important. Our team at CoreMed Plus is here to provide personalized care and support for individuals with AAA. Contact us today to learn more about our healthcare services and how we can help you.

I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care.
I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
