What is primary care?

Primary care is a broad discipline in medicine that covers most of your basic health care needs. Instead of visiting a different specialist for every health issue that comes up, you can see your primary care doctor for new or worsening health concerns, chronic disease management, and preventive care. 

Your primary care provider becomes you and your family’s first point of contact for all medical needs that aren’t emergencies. If your health concern requires more in-depth care or a deeper knowledge of your disease, your primary care provider can make specialist referrals in the office or in your community. 

At Collierville Family Health, you and your family can all get primary care in the same place. The expert providers offer age-specific care. They treat your illnesses and minor injuries, educate you about health, and help you prevent diseases.

Who can benefit from primary care?

Primary care can benefit anyone. In fact, primary care should start shortly after you’re born. For infants and children, primary care is important because it allows your provider to track your child’s growth and ensure they’re reaching developmental milestones. 

Adults and the elderly can benefit from primary care, too. As you get older, your risks for various diseases and injuries rise. Primary care helps you stay as healthy as possible to lower your risks. 

Your primary care provider can also visit with you regularly to help you manage chronic diseases and the medications you take. Older adults often need to take multiple medications, and primary care helps them stay organized and up-to-date.
