What is the role of a primary care provider?

Your primary care provider serves as your main point of contact for all your health care needs. They are knowledgeable about your medical history, medications, and any chronic conditions you may have. 

They can provide routine check-ups, preventive screenings, vaccinations, and health counseling tailored to your specific needs. 

A primary care provider is also your first line of defense when you're not feeling well, helping diagnose and treat common illnesses and managing chronic conditions. 

Having a primary care provider ensures coordinated and comprehensive care, helping you navigate the health care system, make informed decisions, and maintain optimal health throughout your life.

What can my primary care physician treat?

Your primary care provider at Bridge City Family Medical Clinic provides annual physical exams and other preventive care. They can also help you with immediate illnesses and injuries that aren’t life-threatening and chronic diseases that require long-term management. 

Make an appointment for help with:

• Allergies and asthma
• Rashes or skin cancer checks
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 
• Cold or flu symptoms
• Diabetes management
• High cholesterol treatment
• High blood pressure
• Vaccinations
• Specialized physicals for school or work
• Sick visits
• Thyroid problems

If you come in with an injury or illness that is severe and requires more specialized care, your primary care provider can refer you to someone in their network of trusted specialists.  

What are the benefits of having a primary care provider?

You benefit from personalized and continuous care by establishing a long-term relationship with a primary care provider. You’re also more likely to get an accurate diagnosis because your provider is tuned in to changes from your baseline levels.

You remain healthier, even with a chronic condition, because your provider tailors treatments to suit your health history and current needs. You also benefit from having a trusted partner regarding your health. Over time, it will be easier to discuss private medical concerns.

You can trust the Bridge City Family Medical Clinic provider team to listen to you and make you feel at ease when discussing your concerns. They are generally interested in your well-being.
