Primary Care Q & A

What role does preventive health play in primary care?

Primary care is the starting point for all of your general health services, and everyone can benefit from working with a skilled primary care practitioner. Preventive care is the central focus in primary care and strives to reduce your risk of developing chronic health issues like the following:

Heart disease
Stroke
Type 2 diabetes
Gallbladder disease
Dementa
Sexual dysfunction
Hypertension
High Cholesterol
Obesity

Primary care visits include health screenings suited for your age, sex, and overall health. You also learn how to boost your nutrition and increase activity levels, which reduces your risk of common health problems like the ones mentioned above.

How can primary care help if I am injured or sick?

Your primary care provider is your best resource for common illnesses and injuries. Having a trusted provider to turn to can make a challenging situation easy to manage. When you work with Field Medical Solutions for primary care, you have access to a practitioner who already knows your health history if and when an unexpected issue arises.

Acute care visits, also called sick visits, focus on quickly identifying the source of your current symptoms and getting you started on a treatment plan as soon as possible. In many cases, you walk out with a plan in place. You can explore the options with your practitioner if additional diagnostic tools or specialized care are needed.

How often do I need to come in for primary care services?

For routine preventive health visits, most people benefit from visiting once a year to meet with their primary care provider. Of course, if you become injured or ill, you can always come in for a sick visit whenever necessary.

If you have one or more chronic health conditions, you may need to schedule more frequent appointments to manage your health and reduce your risk of unfavorable outcomes. Everyone has different needs, and your primary care provider discusses the best scheduling options for you during your next visit.

To book an appointment, contact the office by phone during routine business hours. Online scheduling is also an option and is available around the clock.
