Primary Care & Preventative Care in Whiting

Primary and Preventative Care Services

Primary care is essential to your health, and we believe you deserve only the very best care possible. At OccuMed Primary Care, we put our patients first. We deliver compassionate, effective medical care that is customized to your specific needs, because receiving healthcare shouldn’t feel like being put on an assembly line.

Our preventative care strategies emphasize our patients’ long-term goals. We believe every patient deserves the chance to speak freely about their private concerns with a doctor, since transparency is key to fully understanding your healthcare needs. That’s why our physicians approach every patient interaction with empathy and a willingness to share our time. We recognize each patient’s unique circumstances and offer personalized treatment in response.

Patients We Serve

Great primary care meets you wherever you are on your health journey. At OccuMed Primary Care, we partner with individuals and families alike to keep everyday health on track, including:

• Patients who want a doctor who knows them. If you’re looking for a dependable primary care provider who remembers your history and supports you for the long haul, we’re ready to build that relationship with you.
• Patients who would rather catch health problems early. If you want to stay ahead of your health with the right screenings and preventive steps for your age and lifestyle, we’ll help you build a plan that keeps small concerns from becoming bigger ones.
• Patients who are overdue for a checkup. If it’s been a while since your last physical and you’re ready to review how you’re really doing, we make it simple to get back on track.
• Patients who are managing an ongoing condition. If you’re living with diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, or another ongoing health concern, we provide the consistent monitoring, medication support, and follow-up care you need to stay on top of your health over time.
• Patients who want one home for their whole family’s care. If you’re looking for one trusted place to handle routine checkups and ongoing health needs for every member of your family, we welcome patients of all ages with the same warmth and attention.

Wherever you’re starting from, we’d be honored to be your care partner.

Physicals

Many patients visit our office for a physical examination. Our physician performs these exams hands-on to identify potential signs of disease or injury. As a result, we can catch signs of illness before they progress to later stages or identify ways to help reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases. We also perform well-child examinations. Physicals are an important part of your long-term health since they provide our doctor with an objective glimpse into your current well-being.

Blood Testing

Blood tests provide an in-depth look into your current health. We can build an accurate picture of your current health through a range of blood tests. Blood tests can reveal illnesses before they reach their later stages, which makes treatment and even recovery more likely. If you’re interested in scheduling a particular type of blood test, please contact our office for details.

Referrals for Specialty Preventative Care

Some patients require specialty preventative care for the results that they need. This isn’t always available through a general practitioner, so our office provides specialty care referrals when appropriate. We can help patients find an individualized solution to their wellness-related needs.
