Primary Care

A primary care physician is your main doctor, and they are focused on your general healthcare needs. Your physician is your first contact with the healthcare system and are very important in your effort to live a healthier life.

    Some areas primary care physicians address are:

• Detection and treatment of common illnesses and conditions.
• Early detection of illness or disease, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or cancer.
• Preventive care: helping you to possibly avoid health problems before they start.
• Disease management: monitoring your current health problems that are on-going.
• Assisting with referrals to a specialist when your health problem is more complex.
