Heart Healthy Family Practice provides personalized, patient-centered medical care for adolescents and adults in San Antonio, Texas. Led by Karen L. Architect, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, with the valued addition of Dawn J. Pastor, APRN, FNP-C, our provider team combines comprehensive family medicine with preventive, functional, and wellness-focused care.
We believe good medicine begins with listening. Our team takes time to understand each patient’s symptoms, health history, lifestyle, goals, and individual needs. We provide primary care, preventive screenings, annual wellness visits, acute illness treatment, chronic disease management, elder care, and personalized health planning.
Our approach extends beyond managing symptoms. When appropriate, we explore nutrition, metabolic health, hormonal balance, inflammation, sleep, stress, movement, and other factors that may affect long-term health. This allows us to develop individualized care plans that may include conventional medical treatment, lifestyle interventions, and evidence-informed nutraceutical support.
Heart Healthy Family Practice provides confidential sexual and medical intimate wellness services for adult women and men. Care may include evaluation of hormonal concerns, urinary symptoms, sexual health, age-related changes, and other issues that can affect comfort, confidence, relationships, and quality of life.
Our functional medicine approach is designed to identify factors that may be contributing to persistent symptoms or chronic health concerns. Depending on the patient’s needs, the evaluation may include a detailed medical history, laboratory review, nutrition, metabolic health, hormone balance, digestive health, inflammation, sleep, stress, and lifestyle patterns.
When clinically appropriate, our providers may recommend evidence-informed nutraceuticals as part of an individualized medical care plan. Nutraceutical support is intended to complement—not automatically replace—prescription medications, preventive care, or other medically necessary treatments.
We also provide personalized post-surgical recovery support for eligible patients. Care may include clinical follow-up, nutrition and hydration guidance, symptom monitoring, recovery planning, and appropriate supportive therapies intended to help the body recover as safely and effectively as possible.
Our medically supervised weight-management programs focus on sustainable progress, metabolic health, nutrition, lifestyle modification, and individualized treatment options when clinically appropriate.
For added convenience, Heart Healthy Family Practice offers telehealth appointments and Saturday appointments on select weeks. Patients can receive care in the office or connect with the provider team through a secure virtual visit when appropriate.
