How Does Medical Cannabis Work?
There are certain health conditions covered under the California Compassionate Use Act, also known as Proposition 215, that can be treated with medical cannabis, including but not limited to arthritis, cancer, chronic pain, migraines, nausea, seizures, and for other long-term symptoms that may be severely impacting your physical or mental health. Dr. Portales will go over your concerns one-on-one with you to determine if you may be a qualifying candidate for medical cannabis. If you qualify, there are a few different ways it can be administered, such as through consuming edibles or smoking. Since applying for a medical marijuana ID card is not mandatory, we do offer a signed document from Dr. Portales that should be accepted at dispensaries when you go to purchase medical cannabis.
OC Medical Tustin Reviews
OC Medical just got the NuEra for fat burning and it is no joke. I had some loose skin after a surgery and Rachel knew exactly what I needed. I did the Accufit with the NuEra and the results are night and day after one session. The NuEra was so comfortable and tightened the skin and got rid of fat while the Accufit toned. I’m so happy with service here and the staff is really incredible. They have all your beauty and esthetic needs!
You're the best doctor we've ever had and wouldn't trade you for the world
