Primary Care

Primary care is the first step in your health and wellness journey. Primary care services are critical across all ages starting from annual check-ups for preventive treatments, to same-day visits with primary care doctors to tackle urgent medical issues.

By investing in providing quality primary care coverage, our clinics enable everyone to have access to personalized healthcare based on their individual needs. At PrimeDoc we utilize essential components of primary care, community participation, intersectoral coordination, appropriate technologies and support mechanisms. We work hard to create and implement individual care plans for our patients who are facing more complex health challenges by coordinating your care with local specialists.

In order for primary care to work best, it has to be available, affordable and help reduce overall cost of healthcare. PrimeDoc always keeps these core components in its foundation and thrives to provide better care.

Accessibility as the first step to quality care

Primary care provider is the gatekeeper of your health. Hence, having one without proper access is not very helpful. This is why PrimeDoc has taken steps to ensure that your primary care provider is available to you in a very short notice.

If a same day appointment is available, it is always best to take advantage of it. It allows your provider to prepare best for your visit. In case no appointments are available PrimeDoc walk-in clinics offer services at convenient locations and times, providing quick access to primary care without an appointment. Your primary care provider or a colleague will be available to address health issues that can not wait for the next available appointment.

From the first primary care visits, our patients gain easy access to the information they need and assurance that their physical health is being taken seriously.

Cost of healthcare is imperative, reducing it is crucial

Competent and qualified primary care providers in most cases will help to avoid a local emergency department visit, unless it is necessary for a better and safer care. Why is this important? According to Agency for Healthcare research and Quality, a federal agency with a goal of improving the safety and quality of healthcare, an estimated 13% to 27% of emergency department visits can be managed by primary or urgent care clinics, saving about $4.4 billion annually and growing. For example, a patient having an asthma exacerbation, may be treated in a primary care setting with nebulizer and steroids, rather than ending up in an emergency department, going through long wait times for a similar treatment.

Moreover, primary care providers in most cases will use a stepwise approach to eliminate unnecessary expensive and time consuming imaging studies and tests, without compromising the well being of the patient.
