Dr. Manuel Nunez
I'm a board-certified family medicine physician at Prosano Health in the Phoenix West Valley. I write this blog for people who want a straight answer and a useful next step, without the panic.
Medicine, explained like we're in the same room
I’m originally from New York City, and I tend to speak plainly. Medicine has enough jargon already. You should be able to understand your options without needing a second tab open to translate them.
I’m a retired military veteran and a family medicine physician certified by the American Board of Family Medicine. I see patients at Prosano Health in the Phoenix West Valley. My work spans prevention, everyday health questions, chronic conditions, and the decisions that come up when life doesn't fit into a neat checklist.
The articles here extend the conversations I have in clinic. They are general education, not a diagnosis or a personal treatment plan. You'll find plain-language explanations, practical starting points, and questions to bring to your own clinician.
How I handle what goes on this site
Health information changes. I aim to make claims traceable to reliable sources, distinguish general guidance from my own practical suggestions, and add dates when a piece is published or materially updated. Older posts are being checked in stages; an old posting date is not proof that a page was recently reviewed. If you spot something that needs correction, please say so rather than relying on an article alone to make a care decision.
Want to talk through your situation?
Start with your primary care provider. If you'd like to see me at Prosano Health, call (855) 776-7266 or visit Prosano Health to ask about eligibility and availability. Browse the articles if you want to read first.
This site is for education, not personalized medical advice or emergency care. Your own care needs an assessment with a clinician.
