Finding a doctor you feel comfortable talking to can make a real difference in how you approach your health. At Mayflower Medical Group, we want patients to know the physicians caring for them, including the experience, interests, and perspective they bring to each visit.

Dr. Youstina Beshay-Taylor, DO, is an internal medicine physician at Mayflower Medical Group, providing primary care to adults at our Covina and Anaheim locations. Her professional interests include preventive care, wellness, and patient education, with a focus on helping patients better understand and take an active role in their health.

A Southern California Physician Coming Home

Southern California has always been home for Dr. Beshay-Taylor. She began her undergraduate education at the University of California, Riverside before moving to Arizona to continue her medical training.

At Midwestern University in Arizona, Dr. Beshay-Taylor completed her master’s degree and earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. She later returned to Southern California to complete her internal medicine residency training in Temecula.

Today, Dr. Beshay-Taylor continues that Southern California connection as part of the Mayflower Medical Group team, caring for adults at our Covina Family Care and Anaheim Family Care locations.

Helping Patients Stay Healthy, Not Just Treat Illness

Primary care is often where some of the most important conversations about health begin. A visit may be prompted by a new symptom or illness, but regular care can also help patients keep track of changes in their health, manage ongoing conditions, and identify potential concerns before they become larger problems.

Dr. Beshay-Taylor’s primary care experience includes health and wellness, the diagnosis and treatment of acute health concerns, ongoing health management, and care for chronic conditions.

Preventive care and wellness are also among her professional interests. Rather than focusing only on illness after it develops, preventive care gives patients and their doctors opportunities to talk about recommended screenings, everyday health habits, risk factors, and other steps that may support long-term health.

Why Patient Education Matters in Primary Care

Patient education is another one of Dr. Beshay-Taylor’s professional interests.

Medical appointments can sometimes come with a lot of information at once. Patients may leave with a new diagnosis, medication, test, or recommendation and still have questions about what it means for their everyday lives.

Patient education can help make those conversations clearer. Understanding why a screening is recommended, how a chronic condition may affect the body, or what a treatment plan is meant to accomplish can help patients become more informed participants in their healthcare.

The relationship between patients and their primary care physician can become especially valuable over time. Regular visits give both the patient and physician opportunities to follow changes, discuss concerns, and make informed decisions together.
