Everyone’s got their own opinion on how to stay healthy, and there’s no denying we have access to information and resources more now than ever before. It almost seems like you can find what you need to stay healthy on the internet, in a book, or even on social media.
But even with all that knowledge at your fingertips, it’s still important to have a doctor you trust and can count on.
At Quality Primary Care in Rockville, Maryland, our board-certified physician Dr. Suresh Malik leads our team in empowering our patients to stay healthy on their own, but also be able to turn to us when they need an expert to step in. Here’s everything you should know about primary care and how it can benefit you.
Primary care is the foundation of all forms of health care that focuses on your current health concerns and helps you prevent medical issues in the future through preventive care.
You can call one of our experienced primary care doctors for anything regarding your health. We’re often your first contact with the medical system, and we take a proactive approach to your overall health.
This form of medicine isn’t only available when you’re sick; primary care also invests in your future health. Preventive care and maintenance help our team keep you healthy through every phase of life.
When you do need more advanced care for a specific issue, your primary care provider refers you to specialty care. They take a comprehensive approach to every system in your body, making sure you stay in the best shape possible.
There are numerous benefits to seeing a primary care physician regularly. Our team offers specialized care and treatment, along with other benefits that include:
Being an established patient at our facility means you get compassionate and personalized care. We get to know the finer details of your health from your first appointment, meaning you don’t need to go over the same detailed information every time you see us. It also helps us track your health status through the years.
Primary care is the core of your medical care. You can come in for anything from a stuffy nose to pain in your belly that won’t go away. Our primary care team helps you with current issues and provides you with the tools to prevent problems from popping up later on.
Chronic disease is a threat to everyone, even the healthiest among us. So, we make disease prevention a key focus of our time with you by conducting blood pressure screenings and other preventive care measures to help you be proactive against serious conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes.
When you’re an established patient at our facility, discussing health concerns that come up is easy. We know your past medical history and your family history, making it easy to communicate about your health and the steps you should be taking to avoid chronic problems.
When you take a dedicated interest in your current and future health, you can potentially eliminate the chances of chronic disease. Regular visits with our team help identify early warning signs of a problem, allowing us to establish treatment quickly.
Primary care can save you both time and money. When you’re an established patient at our facility, it’s very easy to obtain an appointment quickly — you may even be able to get a same-day or next-day appointment. Our comprehensive services also allow you to address many aspects of your health in one place
In short, primary care is at the forefront of disease avoidance and helps you keep your body working as it should through preventive care.
