What is Primary Care?

Primary care is the day-to-day healthcare given by a health care provider which includes these services:

Family Medicine

Family medicine is a branch of medicine designed to have one provider provide basic health care to all members of the family. Services offered include routine health care checkups, sick and well visits, blood pressure screenings and basic lab services.

Internal Medicine

Internal medicine is a medical specialty dealing with prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases. Patients are seen for routine examinations, screenings, medication compliance, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of medically complex illnesses and chronic diseases.

Pediatrics & Adolescent Care

Pediatric and adolescent care is a branch of primary care that focuses on health care for newborns, infants, young children, adolescents, and teens. MedLink Georgia offers the best in newborn, adolescent, and young adult health care. Whether it’s routine immunizations, a well visit, or a sick visit, our friendly, experienced staff is ready to help.

Women’s Health Services

Telehealth

We understand that when you are not feeling well, driving to our office might be difficult. We make it easy to get the same benefits from your computer or phone. Telehealth visits are virtual office visits that let you video chat with a member of our care team from the comfort of your home or wherever you are if there is internet access! We even offer some good visits to protect our good patients from our sick patients.

Annual Wellness Visit

Annual Wellness Visits are simply a conversation between you and your doctor to discuss your health history. During the discussion, address any concerns you may have about your health. The provider will review your medications and immunizations to ensure everything is up to date. It is also a time when you and your doctor review your existing health problems. Together you will determine what health issues may become a concern in the future and how to prevent them. The goals of an Annual Wellness Visit are to create a complete personal and family health history to help prevent future health problems.

Welcome To Medicare

A Welcome to Medicare preventive visit is a one-time appointment you can choose to schedule when you turn 65 and are new to Medicare. The goal of this visit is to promote general health and help prevent possible diseases.
