What is primary care?

Primary care is the starting point for all of your health care. Your primary care physician works closely with you to determine your current state of health, your risk level for various medical issues, and to identify where improvements can be made. 

Preventive health is the cornerstone of primary care. This approach looks for ways to prevent disease before it becomes an issue while also enhancing your overall health and wellness. 

Preventive health includes the screenings needed at various stages of life. It also includes educating you on how to take control of your own health and how to support a lifetime of feeling great and functioning at peak levels. 

What can primary care help treat?

Primary care includes managing chronic health conditions. If you or a loved one suffers from issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, COPD, or high cholesterol, your primary care visits at Dalah Health and Wellness will center on assessing your condition and making adjustments to your treatment plan. 

Primary care also addresses acute health needs. When you experience a sudden illness or injury, having a trusted health team to turn to can make a world of difference in your experience. 

What happens during primary care visits?

A routine physical exam occurs during most primary care visits. These professional evaluations give your practitioner a chance to check your heart, lungs, vision, skin, reflexes, and more. 

If you need vaccinations, they can be performed during your primary care visits. Specialized exams like school, sports, or employment physicals can also be part of the process. 

For those with chronic health issues, primary care visits are an opportunity to ask questions or express concerns. Be sure to mention any changes you’ve noticed since your last visit, which allows your practitioner to tailor your treatment plan. 

What if I need to see a specialist?

While your primary care team can address a wide range of health concerns, there are times when you need specialized care. If such a need arises, Dalah Health and Wellness can help you find a specialist who delivers outstanding care. 

As you move through specialized care, Dalah Health and Wellness works closely with your extended health team to ensure continuity of care. Your medical record is updated with the details of your care, and your primary care team continues to manage your ongoing health journey.
