Adult Primary Care in Gilbert

Most adults do not have a doctor. They have a place they go when something is wrong, which is a different thing and a worse one.

The value of primary care is cumulative. It is having someone who knows what your blood pressure ran three years ago, which medication you stopped and why, and that your father had a heart attack at fifty-eight. None of that is available to a clinic seeing you for the first time.

What we look after

Annual physicals The appointment where we look for the things that have no symptoms yet — blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid. Almost everything that becomes serious in middle age is silent while it is still easy to change. → What an annual visit catches

Blood pressure The most common condition we manage and the one with the least warning. Diagnosis, medication where it is needed, and the adjustments that make it tolerable rather than a fight. → Blood pressure

Diabetes and prediabetes Prediabetes is the window where this is still reversible, and most people in it do not know. Ongoing management for type 2, coordination with specialists where needed. → Diabetes

Thyroid Under-active thyroid gets attributed to stress, age, or having young children for years before anyone tests for it. It is a blood test. → Thyroid

Ongoing conditions COPD, osteoporosis, persistent fatigue, recurring headaches, gastrointestinal problems. The conditions that are managed rather than cured, where continuity matters most. → COPD → Osteoporosis → Fatigue → Headaches → Gastroenteritis

Depression and anxiety Common, treatable, and frequently raised at the end of an appointment about something else. Raise it with your provider; we will talk it through, treat what we can here, and arrange a referral when a specialist is the right next step. → Depression

Immunizations Flu, and the adult vaccines that are easy to lose track of after childhood — tetanus boosters, shingles, pneumonia, and travel vaccines where we can help. → Adult immunizations → Flu

Same-week sick visits Respiratory infections, gastrointestinal complaints, urinary infections, the things that are not emergencies but should not wait two weeks either.

Where to go, and when

Call us for:

anything new, anything worsening, a medication that is not agreeing with you, a result you do not understand, or a symptom you have looked up more than once.

Go to an emergency room, or call 911, for:

chest pain or pressure, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness or numbness on one side, trouble speaking, a sudden severe headache, or heavy bleeding. Do not drive yourself with chest pain.

Not sure which you need? That is a reasonable question and we would rather you asked it than guessed. Primary care, urgent care, and an emergency room are three different things with three different costs.

→ Primary care, urgent care, or the ER

Practical things

New to the practice? We request your records before the first visit, so the appointment is about you rather than about history-taking. → New patients Insurance Most major plans accepted. → Accepted insurance Prescription refills Go through the portal rather than phone tag. → Patient portal ↗ After hours What to do when we are closed — the go-tonight list and the wait-for-morning list. → After-hours care

One practice, whole family

The reason to bring your children here as well is not convenience, though it is convenient. It is that a provider who sees your whole household notices patterns across it — the things that run in families and the things that are going around at home.
