Primary Care

What is primary care?

Ideally, primary care is the starting point for all of your medical care. Once you develop a trusted bond with your primary care provider, that relationship is the center of all future medical needs. 

Primary care includes a wide range of services, including, but not limited to:

• Disease prevention
• Health counseling
• Patient education
• Health promotion
• Diagnostics
• Treatment
• Rehabilitation

Your primary care appointments are shaped according to your specific set of needs at any given point in time. 

Why do I need primary care?

Far too many men and women only see their doctor when they’re injured or ill. That approach fails to acknowledge the benefits of working with a primary care physician. 

To begin, your primary care appointments with Dr. Ali create a comprehensive medical record. That dynamic document provides an overview of your health and a means of tracking changes over time. 

Secondly, if a serious medical issue arises, you’ll have a trusted medical advisor to turn to. That can make it far easier to navigate a complex health problem. When faced with injury or illness, the last thing you need is the additional stress of having to find a doctor you’re unfamiliar with. 

In addition, primary care is the setting in which you can learn how to make the very most of your health and wellness. The manner in which your body performs shapes each and every day, and primary care offers the opportunity to maximize your potential. 

When should I schedule a primary care appointment?

Once you’ve decided to make your health a top priority, set up your initial appointment right away. It’s far easier to begin building a relationship with Dr. Ali when you aren’t troubled with symptoms or facing important treatment decisions. 

To make the most of your initial visit, come prepared to share the details of your personal and family health history. That includes any conditions you’ve received treatment for, as well as current or recent medications and supplements. 

If you have questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with Dr. Ali, bring in a written list to make sure you don’t forget anything. This is the setting where you can get the information you need to thrive. Whether you’d like to learn how to achieve the next level in your fitness plan, are wondering how you can better manage workplace stress, or have questions about sexual health and performance, primary care is the starting point for your best possible life.
