Our Philosophy
At OC Medical Wellness, we believe in a holistic approach to medicine. Led by board-certified osteopathic physician Dr. Arturo Portales, our team is dedicated to treating the underlying causes of medical conditions rather than merely addressing the symptoms. This comprehensive care philosophy ensures that all aspects of your health are considered, allowing us to meet your unique needs effectively.
Arturo Portales, D.O. is a board-certified osteopathic physician with over 20 years of experience in patient care. He is dedicated to helping individuals achieve optimal wellness through a comprehensive approach emphasizing lifestyle changes, proper nutrition, stress management, and appropriate medical therapies when necessary.
Professional Background
Dr. Portales began his career in emergency medicine, where he encountered a gap between osteopathic principles which emphasize whole-person care and conventional medicine’s symptom-focused approach. While medications may manage acute symptoms, they often fail to address the underlying causes of chronic conditions.
For instance, while medication for high blood pressure can lower elevated blood pressure levels, it does not tackle the root causes. Dr. Portales believes that a more holistic approach is vital, one that considers factors such as:
Weight management
Stress reduction
Stimulant overconsumption
Sleep patterns
Family history

Collaborative Care and Treatment

Dr. Portales emphasizes the importance of collaborative care in his practice. This approach involves working closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique health needs. By fostering open communication and mutual respect, Dr. Portales encourages patients to take an active role in their health journey.
Key Elements of Collaborative Care:
Patient Empowerment: Patients are encouraged to voice their concerns and preferences, which helps tailor treatment plans to their lifestyles and values.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Dr. Portales often collaborates with other healthcare professionals, such as nutritionists, mental health specialists, and physical therapists, to provide well-rounded support for his patients.
Ongoing Support: Regular follow-ups and check-ins ensure that patients feel supported throughout their journey, allowing for adjustments to their treatment plans as needed.
This collaborative approach not only enhances the effectiveness of treatment but also fosters a sense of partnership between Dr. Portales and his patients, promoting a shared commitment to achieving optimal health.
Patient-Centered Care
To effectively address underlying health issues, Dr. Portales fosters partnerships with his patients. He understands that achieving optimal health often requires lifestyle changes, which may not always be easy. His goal is to support and guide patients through this process.

Sun damage, small wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation can all be addressed with Lutronic Ultra, a fractional laser therapy that is non-ablative and uses a thulium laser to improve skin tone, texture, and appearance. Applied through the top layers without harming them, it is a flexible and safe solution for all skin types, providing less downtime and quick healing. In order to promote natural skin renewal, the therapy stimulates the creation of collagen and elastin by forming microscopic channels in the skin.
Fractional plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy are combined in Alma Opus Plasma, a non-invasive skin resurfacing and tightening procedure that improves firmness, reduces wrinkles and scars, and improves skin texture. A smoother, younger-looking complexion results from the technology’s creation of micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process and increases the synthesis of collagen and elastin. The procedure is safe for the majority of skin types, can be customized, and requires little recovery time.
In order to alleviate menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, HRT treatments replace hormones like progesterone and estrogen. These therapies come in a variety of forms, including tablets, vaginal rings, lotions, gels, sprays, and skin patches. Depending on a patient’s symptoms and health risks, a doctor would suggest a certain type and dosage.
