Primary Care Medicine
Primary care focuses on prevention, early detection, and management of common medical conditions, promoting overall wellness while reducing the risk of more serious health issues. Through routine check-ups, health education, and personalized care, primary care providers aim to build long-term relationships with patients, gaining insights into their medical histories and personal circumstances.
