Contact UsWhat Is Hypertension?
One in every three adults, around 75 million Americans, has high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Hypertension is a serious condition that, if not properly treated, can place you at an increased risk for heart disease, stroke, and serious complications. High blood pressure often doesn’t present with any symptoms, making it difficult to know that you need medical treatment. This is why having a primary care doctor that pays attention is so important. At Health Direction Medical Center in Chicago, IL, Dr. Esmilkrys B. Ramirez and Dr. Carlos Mella-Picel are committed to preventive care. This means that they can help keep an eye out for hypertension to diagnose and treat any serious issues early on.
Living with Hypertension
Individuals who are at a higher risk of developing high blood pressure are those with unhealthy lifestyles, as well as patients with a family history of hypertension and heart disease. These patients should have their blood pressure taken regularly and maintain a healthy diet. Smoking may increase your risk of hypertension so quitting should be considered and discussed with your provider. If you have previously been diagnosed with hypertension, our primary care providers are equipped and skilled to help manage your condition and live the best possible life.

We’ve been with Health Direction since 2020 and have been happy with how they take care of us. The transition to the Livewell app has made everything smoother and more efficient. Easier to schedule visits and easier to communicate with the physicians/staff regarding our needs. The front desk staff are also friendly and accommodating. Overall a pleasant experience with them!
I enjoyed my experience at the clinic. I felt cared for and they listened to my needs. At the end of the day my symptoms improved and I feel calmer. Thank you!
I Love this clinic I had never felt so comfortable at a doctors visit! Dr.Mella is such a good listener and answers all my questions in details. I recommend this place very neat and friendly!
Excellent doctor! The attentions are first class and the friendly staff and seeing their friendly faces makes the difference.
