PRIMARY CARE:

A primary care practice serves as the patient's first point of entry into the health care system and as the continuing focal point for all needed health care services. Primary care practices provide patients with ready access to their own personal physician.

Primary care practices provide health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, counselling, patient education, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses in a variety of health care settings (e.g., office, inpatient, critical care, long-term care, home care, day care, etc.).

Our primary care physicians have a particular interest in musculoskeletal (orthopaedic) problems, minor surgery, diabetes, hypertension and mental health issues. We deal the problems of all age group from children to elderly.
