What is primary care?

Primary care is your initial point of contact when you need help or advice concerning your health.

Your primary care providers at The R.O.C. Center diagnose and treat a comprehensive range of chronic medical conditions, such as:

• Diabetes

• Arthritis

• Thyroid disease

• Depression and other mood disorders

• Asthma

• Chronic pain

• Eczema

• Fibromyalgia

• High blood pressure (hypertension)

• Autoimmune disorders

• Acne

While we have the skills and experience to provide most of your care, where necessary, we can refer you to a hospital or specialist provider. You can also access preventive health care services at your primary care practice.

What preventive services does primary care provide?

Preventing you from getting sick has become an increasingly important part of primary care over recent years. After all, it makes sense to avoid the pain, inconvenience, distress, and lost work time that an illness inevitably causes.

Some of the preventive care services available at The R.O.C. Center include:

• Healthy lifestyle advice

• Weight loss programs

• Cholesterol checks

• Blood sugar monitoring

• Blood pressure measurement

• Cancer screening

• Immunizations

• Annual physical examinations

• Well-woman exams

• STD testing

We also offer family planning services, prenatal care, and support after you've had a baby.

Can I go to my primary care provider for urgent problems?

We provide sickness visits and urgent care for acute medical problems. We can treat many common conditions, including:

Respiratory infections

Colds, coughs, flu, strep throat, sinusitis, and other respiratory tract infections are among the most common types of medical problems. You can also access advice and testing for COVID-19.

Injuries

Sprains and strains, back and neck problems, cuts and bruises, and puncture wounds are just some of the injuries we see regularly.

Gastrointestinal problems

Abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, nausea and vomiting, and conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hemorrhoids are some of the more common gastrointestinal disorders.

Other issues for which your family might need urgent care include headaches and migraines, fevers, rashes, and ear infections.
