What to expect during your visit

Your first visit is an opportunity to get a full picture of your health and create a plan for staying well. Our providers take the time to understand your medical history, address your current concerns and assess your overall health. During this visit, you may experience:

A physical exam: A head-to-toe assessment to check your vital signs, evaluate your overall health and identify any immediate issues
Screening recommendations: Age-appropriate tests such as blood pressure checks, cholesterol screenings and glucose tests to identify potential health concerns early
Preventive care: Guidance on vaccinations, wellness screenings like Pap smears or mammograms, and lifestyle recommendations to help you avoid potential health risks

The first visit is a step toward building a proactive and personalized care plan.

Diagnosis and treatment of common medical problems

If you’re coming in for a specific issue, our providers are ready to evaluate and address your concerns. From managing acute illnesses to identifying chronic conditions, we’ll work with you to determine an accurate diagnosis and the right course of treatment for you. Whether it’s prescribing medications, recommending lifestyle changes or coordinating care with specialists, we’ll create a plan tailored to your health needs.
