Our primary care doctors are dedicated to treating you as a whole person, not just as an illness or a disease that needs to be managed. By developing ongoing relationships with their patients, our doctors are able to provide integrated, holistic healthcare for patients of every age and gender.
Primary care doctors serve patients in their acute, chronic, and preventive medical needs.
Preventive medicine through Primary Care
Our primary care doctors are committed to keeping you healthy for the long haul. Primary care doctors can provide proactive, preventive treatment by:
- Performing routine check-ups, health screenings, and assessments
- Keeping you up-to-date on your vaccines
- Monitoring changes in your health over time
- Providing personalized counseling to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle
- Performing physicals for school or sports

Acute care from your Primary Care doctor
When you’re sick or hurt, you need medical care right away. Your primary care doctor can treat acute care issues such as fever, flu, sinus infections, and injuries. And if your primary care doctor isn’t available immediately, you can see one of our other partner providers for urgent care at your medical home.
