About Me

I’m thrilled to officially join A Healthier You Wellness Center as the new Patient Advocate—a role that perfectly combines my passion for wellness with years of experience in healthcare sales, marketing, and wellness education to help guide our patients toward lasting transformation. I truly believe that everyone deserves to feel their best and be their healthiest ‘you.’

My passion lies in connecting people with solutions that work—whether through advanced therapies like Peptides (including GLP-1's for weight loss), PRP/PRF, specialized lab testing and Functional medicine; or through the time-tested wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, Homeopathy, and Ayurvedic medicine. I specialize in making the wellness journey approachable, personalized, and empowering—while also driving awareness, education, and trust through strategic outreach and patient engagement.

I will be working closely with patients to help them feel confident and supported as they explore powerful wellness tools that the clinic has to offer.

Getting healthy doesn’t have to be confusing or overwhelming. Let’s find the right path together—because you deserve to feel your best. I couldn't be more excited to be part of this amazing team—and I can't wait to help you start your journey to a healthier you.

How to Get Your VA Appointment with Dr. Corrente
 

Step-by-step

  1. See your Primary Care Physician (PCP)

    • Tell your PCP: “I’d like a referral to see Dr. Deborah Corrente (A Healthier You Wellness Center) as a new patient for acupuncture/integrative care.”

  2. PCP sends the referral

    • Ask your PCP to send the referral to the Miami VA (Community Care).

  3. Call the Miami VA after the referral is sent

    • Call the Miami VA community clinic and ask for an MSA (Medical Scheduling Assistant).

  4. Tell the MSA you have a referral to see Dr. Corrente

    • Say: “I have a referral on file to see Dr. Deborah Corrente.”

    • The MSA will search the system, confirm your authorization, and check appointment availability.

  5. Get scheduled

    • The MSA will schedule you directly for your first appointment.

Quick phone script (copy this)

Helpful tips

  • If the MSA can’t find your referral, call your PCP and ask them to confirm it was sent to Miami VA Community Care (include your DOB and last 4).

  • Ask the MSA:

    • How many visits are authorized?

    • Authorization dates (start/end)?

    • Who to call for rescheduling or no-shows.

  • Bring to your first visit:

    • Photo ID

    • Any VA authorization paperwork (if you received it)

If you hit a snag

  • Call your PCP office and ask them to “re-send or verify the Community Care referral to Miami VA.”

  • Ask the VA operator for Community Care / MSA or the Patient Advocate at the Miami VA.
