Family Medicine

This type of care includes diagnostic, treatment, and preventative medical care for the whole family, including all genders, ages, etc. It also includes medical care for all body parts and covers all diseases and conditions. This care can include long-term and comprehensive care of various kinds. When you choose us for your Primary Care in Lawrenceville, your entire family has a place to go for quality medical care. 

Geriatric Care

Older people, those considered elderly, have a unique set of issues and conditions that impact them differently than the rest of the population. Thankfully, we have the expertise at our primary care Sugarloaf facility to address geriatric issues. We are happy to create a treatment plan for any older adult, taking into account the unique conditions that impact this age group. Geriatric classification begins at age 65. 

Pediatric Care

Another group of people who can benefit greatly from primary care are pediatric patients. These patients are those who are aged 21 and younger. Pediatric care involves the diagnosis and treatment of the conditions and diseases of children and young adults. This can include well-visits and vaccinations. 

Annual Physical Exam

Everyone, no matter their age or health conditions, should get an annual physical examination. This checks for all current conditions that might not be known and addresses any concerns the patient is having. An annual physical exam includes testing your vital signs including the following:

• Respiration rate.
• Heart rate.
• Blood pressure.
• Temperature.

It also includes a look at your medical history and the following exams:

• Heart exam.
• Head and neck exam.
• Lung exam. 
• Extremities exam.
• Skin exam.
• Neurological exam.
• And more, depending on how comprehensive the exam is and whether you are male or female. 

Treatment for Anxiety, Depression and ADHD

Anxiety, depression, and ADHD are conditions that can negatively impact your ability to live a healthy life. Thankfully, at our Primary Care in Lawrenceville, we can address these conditions and come up with a long-term treatment plan to get you back to living a healthy, happy life once again. There is no shame in coming to the doctor to address these conditions, as they are far more common than most people realize and affect individuals from every walk of life. 

Weight Loss Management Program

Although many Americans are considered overweight, and it is not often considered a medical concern, being overweight or obese can have devastating effects on your health. When you are overweight instead of a healthy weight you face an increased risk for all the conditions outlined below:

• Gallbladder disease.
• Mortality (all causes of death).
• High triglycerides, high LDL cholesterol, or low HDL cholesterol.
• High blood pressure, also known as hypertension.
• Low quality of life.
• Various types of cancer.
• Breathing problems and sleep apnea.
• Osteoarthritis, which means the bones and cartilage are broken down.
• Stroke.
• Coronary heart disease.
• Type two diabetes. 
• Pain and difficulty with regular functions.
• Mental illnesses like anxiety, depression, and others. 

To be considered overweight, you would have a body mass index or BMI of 25 or greater. Obesity is having a BMI of 30 or more. Thankfully, even if you find yourself in these high-risk groups, at our primary care facility, we are able to help you create a weight loss program to help you lose weight and get healthy. 

Dermatology & Skin Care Solutions

Skin conditions can be detrimental to your well-being for a variety of reasons. They can cause pain, lead you to be self-conscious, and more. Therefore, if you are having any issues with your skin, you need to seek the medical care of a professional at our primary care office. 

Flu Shot

For many, getting the flu shot is required for employment. For others, it is simply a good way to guard against getting the flu and facing some of the more severe complications that can go along with this virus. When you get the flu, the complications of this infection can cause severe health problems even leading to hospitalization or worse. Therefore, it’s a good idea for most people to get the flu shot to prevent complications with this virus.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is blood pressure above 140/90. While there are usually no symptoms of high blood pressure that you will notice if you have hypertension untreated, it can lead to severe health conditions, like stroke or heart disease. Thankfully, hypertension is very treatable once diagnosed.  

High Cholesterol 

If you have high cholesterol, this means your blood flow can be limited. This will increase your risk of stroke and heart attack. Diagnosing this chronic condition can be done at our primary care location with a simple blood test. It is treatable. Finding out if you have high cholesterol and then treating it is important to your long-term health. 

Allergy Testing

Another benefit of choosing us as your primary care medical provider is allergy testing. We can test for your sensitivity to common allergens like animal dander, molds, plant pollens, and insect stings. We also can test for food allergies and look for sensitivity to wheat, eggs, peanuts, milk, and shellfish. We can help you determine if you need further evaluation for allergies that could include injections or other treatments. If your allergies are not as severe, we can recommend allergy medication that can reduce the symptoms. 

Thyroid Testing

Your thyroid is the endocrine gland that is situated in your neck. It makes two important hormones that are then secreted into the blood. These are T3 or triiodothyronine and T4 or thyroxine. These hormones play a vital role in ensuring all the cells of your body are working normally. Therefore, you need to determine if you are having a problem with your thyroid and if it is not functioning as it should. At primary care Sugarloaf, we are happy to test your thyroid to ensure that it is working as it should. If there is a problem found after testing, we can also work with you to devise a treatment plan that will help increase these hormones and get your body back to working as it should.
