4 Questions to Ask Your Primary Care Physician

At Rocky Mount Family Medical Center, we provide a wide range of medical care to our patients of all ages. We treat patients from their early years through to their later years, working as their primary care physicians for all of their medical needs. We are the first point of contact for our patients for their medical concerns, providing them with the necessary physical exam, diagnosis, and treatment where possible, or referring them to a specialist for coordinated medical care as necessary.

We offer our patients a wide range of services, including men’s and women’s health, diabetes care, laboratory and radiology services, and a coagulation clinic. We believe in a medical care philosophy centered around our patients’ physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and well-being. Our patients come to us knowing that they will not only receive top-notch medical care but that they will be treated with grace, respect, and excellence that is consistent with each and every visit.

Rocky Mount Family Medical Center cares for patients of all ages and stages of life. This means that we will look after the needs of our youngest patients, starting from birth, as well as their siblings, parents, and grandparents, all under one roof. By having the full family in our practice, we are able to get a more holistic view into each patient’s health as we have the medical records on hand of all of their immediate family members.

We also understand that parents are busy juggling school, extracurricular activities, and play dates for their kids with their own hectic lives. By providing medical care for all of the family members, we are making it easier and more convenient for families to book appointments together to avoid having to make multiple trips and additional time out of their schedule. If you and/or any members of your family are looking for a new family doctor, reach out to the team at Rocky Mount Family Medical today to get added to the patient list of one of our great team members.

As a medical practice focused on the primary medical care of our patients of all ages, we want to ensure that we are providing them the most comprehensive care to suit their needs. Our team of doctors provides our patients with care focused around men’s health, women’s health, pediatric care, diabetes management, employer services, ancillary services, and laboratory services.

This means that families can bring all members to our practice in order to have their medical needs taken care of, with a consistent level of treatment for each person. It also enables us to have insights into any potential medical conditions that tend to run in families, so we can monitor the younger family members for early signs of illness or disease. We are focused on the holistic health and well-being of our patients, focusing not just on their physical health, but their emotional and spiritual health as well.

Primary care providers are just that – the primary source of medical care for their patients. This means that patients should be seeing their primary care provider on a regular basis, typically once a year for a routine checkup, and then throughout the year between checkups as needed for acute illnesses or injuries. Your primary care provider is meant to be the first point of contact for patients for all of their medical concerns. A primary care physician takes a preventative approach to their patient’s health, regularly examining them and checking for any early signs of illness or disease that can have serious complications or consequences if left undiagnosed and untreated.

Your primary care provider will also keep complete, accurate, and up-to-date health records for you, both with the visits that you make to them, and with any further medical care you are receiving through a specialist. As a result, when you see your primary care provider for any medical reason, even just a checkup, they have your complete medical records to ensure that any medications or treatments they are prescribing will not interfere with other treatments you are currently on.
