Primary Care Providers for the Whole Family

 Health is our greatest asset, and the best investment you can make for yourself and your family members is to start with a good relationship with your primary care provider. Your primary care provider can become your partner in health – helping you to live a life with the quality you intend. Your primary care provider can:

• Help diagnose health conditions and treat illnesses and injuries: Primary care doctors diagnose and treat common medical conditions, assess the severity of medical problems, refer patients to specialists when necessary, treat illnesses and help you manage chronic diseases, such as diabetes or hypertension (high blood pressure).
• Coordinates your medical care: Sometimes medical care gets complicated as you age and develop chronic medical conditions. Your primary care doctor keeps track of your health, including treatments and medications, helps to ensure you see the right doctors at the correct times and communicates with them. He or she serves as a point person to ensure that your medical treatments and medications won't interact dangerously.
• Manages chronic conditions: Your primary care doctor will also help you manage chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol.

Primary Care: Partners in Your Health

In addition to providing routine care like physical exams, vaccinations and managing minor illnesses like the flu or ear infections, your primary care provider records your medical history and your family’s health history. Your primary care provider is aware of any changes over time to help prevent disease, manage health concerns or address chronic conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure or heart disease.

Your primary care provider can even refer you to the right specialist if you ever need one. Riverside Medical Group offers specialists for heart care, orthopedics, cancer care, endocrinology, rheumatology, neurology, neurosurgery and more.

What Preventive Screenings Do You Need?

Preventive screenings are key to catching diseases early when they’re most treatable – and before they become serious. Your primary care provider will recommend screenings based on your medical history and personal health needs.
