Primary Care

What is primary care?

Primary care provides all the services you need for optimal health. You can call Nader Cardiology whenever you’re sick or have any health and well-being issues.

Unless your injury or illness is so serious you need emergency hospital treatment, primary care is your first stop when you have acute health problems. Your provider at Nader Cardiology can diagnose and treat common symptoms and disorders such as:

• Abdominal pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Fevers
• Colds and flu
• Digestive upsets
• Skin problems
• Wounds and burns
• Sinus infections
• Sprains and strains
• Back and neck pain

In addition to these urgent health problems, Nader Cardiology also offers chronic disease management. Some conditions are incurable, while others persist for months or years before recovering.

Examples of chronic conditions include cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Nader Cardiology helps manage these conditions and offers specialized care for cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease, arrhythmia, peripheral artery disease (PAD), and hypertension (high blood pressure).

What additional services does primary care provide?

Primary care providers offer many additional services to their patients. Examples include:

• Preop examinations
• Weight loss programs
• Healthy lifestyle advice
• Allergy testing
• Medication management
• Family planning
• Blood sugar monitoring
• STD (sexually transmitted disease) testing
• Smoking cessation support

Nader Cardiology provides a wide range of cardiac and vascular health services, including measuring your cholesterol levels and monitoring your blood pressure. These can also play an essential part in preventive medicine.

What role does preventive medicine play in primary care?

Preventive medicine focuses on all the ways you can avoid getting sick. Nader Cardiology offers preventive medicine services that include:

• Annual physicals
• Well-woman exams
• Immunizations
• Cancer screenings

Routine exams and blood tests help identify health problems at their earliest stage before you develop symptoms. This is particularly relevant when considering that potentially life-threatening disorders like high cholesterol and hypertension (high blood pressure) cause no symptoms.

Treating diseases early is usually more effective and less invasive than waiting until you’re very sick. Early intervention also saves you considerable time and money and prevents the pain and distress serious health disorders can cause.
