Primary Care Q & A

What is primary care?

Primary care refers to the services you receive from health professionals trained to provide the first contact and take care of all your ongoing health concerns.

What does first contact mean? It means that your designated primary care provider is the first person you call any time you have a health concern.

Whether you develop a sudden illness, need ongoing care for chronic disease, or need to find a specialist, you contact Dr. Abrar. He offers comprehensive treatment and coordinates your care with other doctors or service providers in the community.

What services will I receive from my primary care provider?

Dr. Abrar provides all the same services you would expect from a family physician or internal medicine practitioner. The services offered may include:

Dr. Abrar coordinates your care when you need treatment from a specialist or an interdisciplinary team. He also helps you find community resources and services.

Do primary care providers offer chronic disease management?
