Primary Care Specialist

What is primary care?

Primary care provides you with all your day-to-day health care needs.

Other than emergency hospital treatment, surgery, and the most specialized care for chronic conditions, Vital Clinic and Spa's primary care services look after all other aspects of your health.

What are the available primary care services?

Vital Clinic and Spa offers a comprehensive range of primary care services, including:

Acute illness and injury care

The team can diagnose and treat acute problems like flu, strep throat, urinary tract infections (UTIs), pink eye (conjunctivitis), headaches, abdominal pain, and other common conditions without delay. They can also clean, dress, and stitch deep wounds and cuts.

Birth control

The right birth control measures prevent unwanted pregnancy and can also treat some menstruation problems. Vital Clinic and Spa can help you choose the method that's best for you, prescribing birth control pills or fitting IUDs (intrauterine devices) or contraceptive implants.

STD testing and treatment

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections you get from a sexual partner and include chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, hepatitis B, syphilis, HIV/AIDs, and HPV (human papillomavirus).

Minor procedures

Your provider at Vital Clinic and Spa can perform minor in-office procedures like removing ingrown toenails and skin tags.

Preventive medicine

Preventive medicine is all about helping you avoid ill-health and detecting any medical issues before they reach a more serious stage. Preventive medicine services available at Vital Clinic and Spa include:

• Blood pressure monitoring
• Immunizations
• Physical examinations
• Cholesterol checks
• Blood sugar testing
• Well-woman and well-man exams
