EMR Upgrade throughout the weekend: CCP will be completing a scheduled upgrade to our electronic medical record (EMR) system to help enhance and support your care experience. Our practices remain accessible, on-call providers continue to be available, and Latham Urgent Care will remain open for urgent medical needs. Most of this work is happening behind the scenes. If you receive care this weekend, you likely won’t notice any difference, other than occasionally confirming information to ensure we have the most accurate details for your care. We appreciate your patience.

 

If you visit Urgent Care this weekend, it would be helpful to bring a current list of your medications. You should also expect paper prescriptions rather than electronic prescriptions during portions of the upgrade. Any other office-specific changes or instructions will be communicated directly by your practice, if needed. Please check your practice’s website for the latest updates.

Biography

Dr. Luis Daniel (Danny) Diaz is a board-certified bilingual family physician fluent in Spanish. He received his Doctorate of Medicine from Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, D.C. Dr. Diaz served in the U.S. Army before completing a family medicine residency at Ellis Hospital in Schenectady, NY. He began his studies at the University at Albany in Albany, NY, earning his Bachelor of Science in biology. Dr. Diaz has a particular interest in disease prevention, especially for cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, and mental health.

Along with providing patient care, Dr. Diaz also serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor for the Department of Family & Community Medicine at Albany Medical College in Albany, NY.

Though Dr. Diaz was born in Fort Gordon Army base, he has called Clifton Park home for the last 25 years. Some of Dr. Diaz’s earliest childhood memories are of him accompanying his father, Dr. Miguel R. Diaz, while he provided free medical care to the underserved. He cites this as a major inspiration in pursuing a career in medicine. He enjoys forming close relationships with his patients and believes a deep appreciation of each patient’s value system is key to providing exceptional care. Dr. Diaz strives to provide full-spectrum Family Medicine care, including Suboxone management and Medical Cannabis/Marijuana.

Dr. Diaz volunteers at the City Mission, the Bethesda House, and Migrant free clinics, where he provides care for the underserved.  In his free time, Dr. Diaz also enjoys weight training, traveling, and spending time with his wife, their baby, and their three puppies.
