Can Urgent Care Be Your Primary Doctor?

Can Urgent Care Be Your Primary Doctor?

Urgent care is built for sudden problems that need attention today. It is not a replacement for ongoing primary care, which is about knowing your history and managing your health over time. The good news is that Pioneer Physicians offers both, so you can get urgent care and build a relationship with a primary care provider in the same place.

Urgent care vs primary care

Use urgent care when something just came up and cannot wait. Use primary care for checkups, ongoing conditions, and screenings. Because we do both, your care can stay in one place instead of being split across offices.

Our primary care

Our primary care visits include routine checkups, screening for blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol, and help managing common conditions. Book an appointment so we can plan enough time with you.
