What Does a Primary Care Physician Do? 

Primary care physicians fulfill several vital roles in maintaining the health and well-being of individuals across all stages of life. Let’s explore these roles in detail: 

Preventive Care and Wellness Promotion:

Primary care physicians lay a lot of emphasis on the prevention of disease and wellness promotion. They encourage patients to go for check-ups and screenings to catch illnesses at their onset. As a result of behavior modification and seeking healthcare early, the chances of chronic diseases afflicting the patients are significantly reduced. 

At Macie Medical, our primary care physicians support their patients to develop active intervention strategies. Macie Medical cares for adult individuals across Katy, TX through personalized health maintenance plans including but not limited to vaccinations, and health counseling including nutrition, exercise and other related lifestyle changes. is your ally and your advocate in your health care journey. 

Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment:

Primary care professionals are highly proficient in diagnosing, evaluating, and treating various problems and health issues. When it comes to feeling unwell, or having something hurt, or even a long-term illness, primary care physicians are very handy for diseases which are not life-threatening. 

The physicians within our Macie Medical facility have the ability to tackle different medical problems presented by the patients. Our focus on fostering effective relations with our patients helps the primary care physicians understand the specifics of each patient with their medical conditions and practices. This helps them to address each patient as per their preferences as far as the treatment is concerned. Furthermore, our clinic, on site, has an in-house laboratory that quickens the process of appropriate diagnostic tests for the patients leading to effective and fast relief of the patients. 

Coordination of Care and Health Maintenance:

Primary care physicians also play a significant role as care coordinators or health advocates. They advocate referrals to specialists, provide further interventions through follow-ups, and supervise the progression of chronic diseases and their treatments, if any changes are required. 

Suffice it to say, Macie Medical understands that health does not begin and end with primary care, that is why they work together with the specialists when it is needed. Our Primary care doctors facilitate the exchange of information between many providers, thus allowing for the constructive integration of all available resources. Moreover, they also maintain the health of patients on an everyday basis.
