FAQ

Primary care physicians (PCPs) are direct and coordinate every aspect of your health care – physical, emotional, and mental. We listen to your questions, assess symptoms, recommend treatment approaches, prescribe medication, and refer you to the proper specialist when necessary.

It’s important to have a primary care physician. It is our goal to get to know you, your history, and your family’s health history. We want to build a long-term relationship with you. We manage your chronic diseases and take care of issues when they arise.

Be open and honest with us! We want to know what’s going on with your health. Don’t hold back if something is bothering you. We are here to help you and we will partner with you to address your healthcare concerns.

 

  • Are you experiencing painful or uncomfortable symptoms that interfere with your daily life? 
  • Is a medication you’re taking making you feel sick?
  • Do you need help with making healthy decisions or lifestyle choices?
  • Are you having problems sleeping or with your marriage or children?
  • Are you experiencing stress, depression, or sadness? 

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are advanced practice registered nurses who have advanced clinical training. They can conduct physical examinations, diagnose, and treat illnesses, perform procedures, write prescriptions, and order and interpret laboratory and diagnostic studies. NPs can prescribe treatment and medications according to the state’s Nurse Practice Act. In Texas, NPs have prescriptive authority through written agreements with collaborating physicians.

Nurse Practitioners work in collaboration with physicians and other healthcare professionals to ensure that everyone receives the best possible healthcare.

Your physical exam will take two visits. The first appointment is scheduled with the phlebotomist who will draw your blood.

Before your first appointment with the phlebotomist, you will need to be fasting. That means nothing to eat or drink twelve hours before your appointment time, except water. Drink plenty of water which keeps you hydrated and makes the blood draw easier. You can also take your daily medications.

 

The second visit will be scheduled about a week later and will be with the provider you choose. At this appointment, your test results will be reviewed, and the physical exam performed.  Preventative care screenings such as mammograms, colonoscopies, etc. 

will be reviewed/discussed.
