What happens during a primary care visit?
Every individual has their own unique health care concerns and requirements, thus every primary care appointment is different.
However, during a primary care visit, your team typically begins by discussing your overall health and asking you questions related to any specific pain or symptoms of illness you may be experiencing.
Next, your team checks your vitals, including your body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. They may also measure your height and weight.
Based on your health history and the concerns you express, your team follows this with primary care treatment services such as:
- Flu shots
- Urine analysis
- Wound suturing
- Sling placement
- Bandage wrapping
If your Chiefland Health Center team discovers that you require specialized treatment they can’t provide, they refer you to a trusted specialist and continue to follow up with you regarding treatment.
During a primary care visit, your team may also provide immunizations, booster shots, annual physical exams, and any other preventive care you need.
Why should I choose primary care treatment?
Primary care treatment addresses every aspect of your health, regardless of your age, gender identity, or sex.
When you choose primary care treatment, you’re investing in a lifelong relationship with your provider. This relationship leads to increased trust, more personalized care, and better outcomes.
