What does primary care offer?
On the Move Medical Clinic provides a variety of services within primary care. You and your loved ones can make appointments for the following:
Physical exams
Preventive and wellness visits allow you to check your health and re-evaluate your habits. Sports physicals, school physicals, and annual wellness exams are available in person or with telehealth. Well-child exams are also available for toddlers and above.
Sick visits
A sick visit goes over any new or unusual symptoms. Karen provides treatment recommendations and may use tests, like rapid strep tests or Covid-19 tests, to help you get prompt answers for your condition.
Minor injuries
Karen can evaluate and treat minor musculoskeletal injuries like sprains and strains at On the Move Medical Clinic.
Chronic disease management
Chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease require close monitoring and ongoing care. Karen can also help you manage your allergies.
How do I benefit from having a primary care provider?
A primary care provider is who you see for all your preventive care and when you’re sick. They become familiar with your beliefs, preferences, lifestyle, and any chronic diseases you have.
This results in highly personalized care that places you at the center. Rather than going to a new provider each time you’re not feeling well and explaining your health history from the start, you can visit Karen and receive consistent and well-informed care every time.
