Primary Care

Primary care is the delivery of basic, non-specialized healthcare that helps patients maintain peak overall health. Unlike specialist care, primary care focuses on the major factors that impact the development of long-term healthcare conditions such as chronic diseases.

A primary care provider helps patients avoid, or control, their current health status through procedures that help screen and detect new healthcare issues. Primary care focuses on a variety of services that monitor your overall health like blood pressure tests, height/weight checks, vision, hearing, and lab tests.

Many patients value the relationship with a trusted primary care provider because they help to identify specific healthcare goals and challenges on a patient-by-patient basis. This patient-provider relationship is crucial to ensuring that primary care produces the best possible outcome for a patient!

Primary care providers are also skilled in patient education, disease prevention, and counseling to help inform patients.

Without Routine primary care visits, patients may experience a worsening in their overall health, miss important medical diagnoses, and experience a lower quality of life.
