What happens during a primary care visit?

During your primary care visit at Health North Family Medicine, LLC, your provider spends time reviewing your personal and family medical histories. They also discuss your current health, lifestyle, and any concerns about your wellness.

As part of your physical exam, your provider notes essential details about your wellness, including your height, weight, heart rate, and lung function. They may also request bloodwork and other preventive screenings.

If you’re seeking treatment for an illness, your provider can use on-site diagnostic testing to determine the cause of your symptoms. They also provide customized treatment plans to help you feel better and chronic disease management plans to keep conditions like diabetes under control.
