Our Primary Care centers are staffed with compassionate, dedicated, qualified professionals who are experienced in pediatrics and adult medicine. We also offer same-day appointments.

As a patient at our practice, you have the benefit of receiving preventative services, which vary with a patient’s age. Preventative tests help providers evaluate your current health status and detect early warning signs.

With the help of your provider, we can identify a rising issue and create a plan of action to help you stay healthy.our provider will discuss with you what preventative services they believe are right for you, based on your age, gender, current health status, and your medical history.

Preventative services include and are not limited to:

• Yearly physical exams
• Physical exams before and after surgery
• Well-woman exams (including breast exams and Pap smears)

Same day appointments are available for patients that have come down with an illness or a flare-up of a chronic condition.

Please contact our office as soon as you can to talk with a team member who can assist in setting up a same day appointment. We will try to set up an appointment with your provider, but if they are unavailable, we’ll offer you an appointment with another physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.

Primary care plays a role in the management of chronic illnesses and conditions.
