Primary Care & Family Medicine
Your lifelong partner for complete, personalized care
A primary care doctor’s goal is to help you stay healthy as you age and is typically a patient’s first point of contact for any new illness or symptom. Primary care physicians can evaluate symptoms and either provide treatment or a referral to a specialist. They also help to coordinate all aspects of a patient’s care.
Primary care physicians specialize in preventive medicine, minor illnesses, and the management of chronic health conditions. Patients typically visit their primary care provider once per year for an annual health screening and as needed for illnesses or other health issues that come up. Primary care doctors frequently form lifelong connections due to this ongoing relationship.
At Coordinated Health, part of Lehigh Valley Health Network, our primary care physicians also provide urgent care services at our walk-in Care on Demand clinics.
