Primary Care Q&A
Why is primary care so important?
Primary care is critical because it emphasizes wellness and prevention.
Instead of waiting for you to get sick or develop health problems, primary care providers, like the Riverside Primary Care Clinic team, focus on helping you stay healthy.
What services does primary care include?
The Riverside Primary Care Clinic team offers various primary care services, including:
Men’s health
Men’s health provides sex-specific care to people with male reproductive organs. The men’s health specialists at Riverside Primary Care Clinic focus on common male health problems, including erectile dysfunction (ED), prostate cancer, and low testosterone.
Women’s health
Women’s health provides sex-specific care to people with female reproductive organs. The Riverside Primary Care Clinic team offers breast exams, Pap smears, and women’s health checkups. If needed, they can even refer you to a radiology facility for a mammogram (breast X-ray).
Vaccinations
Vaccinations, or immunizations, train your immune system to defend itself from harmful invaders like viruses and bacteria. Many people think that vaccines are only for children, but it’s important you receive them throughout your life.
Lab testing
Lab testing analyzes samples of blood, urine, or saliva to gain insights into your health. Routine lab testing at Riverside Primary Care Clinic can alert you to underlying health problems, like nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, or infectious diseases.
Nutrition and wellness coaching
Eating healthy and exercising regularly are two of the most important factors to a long and active life. The Riverside Primary Care Clinic team provides nutrition and wellness coaching to teens and adults. Whether you want to lose weight and keep it off or hope to age more comfortably, coaching can help.
Chronic condition management
Chronic condition management uses regular checkups, prescription medication, and healthy lifestyle changes to keep long-term health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol under control.
Should I visit an urgent care for treatment?
