One of the consistent frustrations in specialist medicine is referring a patient back to primary care and watching the continuity fall apart. The patient can't get an appointment for three weeks. The PCP doesn't have time to review the specialist notes in depth. The plan fragments.
Code 1 is built to be the kind of primary care partner that makes specialist relationships work better.
When a specialist refers a patient back to Code 1, or when a Code 1 patient is referred out to a specialist, Dr. Cashio stays actively involved in the broader picture. That means reviewing specialist notes, communicating directly with the referring or receiving physician when it's relevant, and making sure the patient's full picture is understood on both ends.
This isn't coordination for its own sake. It's what good medicine actually requires when a patient has multiple providers touching different parts of their health.
Code 1 patients interact with a range of specialists depending on their individual health picture. If you're a specialist in the Austin or Dripping Springs area and want to establish a referral relationship, we're interested in the conversation.
