Information about primary care services

What is primary care?

Primary care is essential to your health. Your primary care doctor should be your first point of contact for all of your continuous, comprehensive care, and the person you call when you suspect you have an undiagnosed health concern, sign, or symptom. By maintaining a long-term relationship with their patients, primary care doctors are able to keep better track of how they are progressing with treatments, know their medical history, and provide individualized care. It is important for you to choose a primary care physician that you feel you can speak openly with regarding any issues you may be having. Your local primary care clinic serves patients in Germantown, MD and throughout Montgomery County, offering superior services for all of your primary care needs, and is easily accessible via major thoroughfares.
