Primary Care Q&A

What is primary care?

Primary care addresses the majority of your health issues over your life and places emphasis on preventive care. By choosing a primary care physician to visit consistently, you can keep track of changes in your health and identify health issues early on when they’re in their most treatable stages. 

As your primary care practitioner, Dr. Philips gets to know you better with time. She becomes familiar with your medical history, lifestyle, and habits and can help you manage any chronic diseases that affect you. She can also answer your questions about health and wellness and make recommendations for treatments and services available at Wellness Medicine McKinney.

Which services does primary care include?

Primary care includes many medical services that can help you track, maintain, or improve your health. One of the most important parts of primary care, your annual exams, are visits that occur regardless of your health. You attend these appointments yearly to check your overall health.
