Primary care is a medical specialization that manages a patient’s health and wellness throughout their lifetime. As your primary care provider, Benech Family Clinic serves as your first point of contact any time you need medical care, whether for a sick visit, preventive care, a physical, or chronic health management.
Your Benech Family Clinic provider has extensive experience in the full spectrum of health challenges facing children, teens, and adults. In addition to preventing, diagnosing, and treating health conditions, your provider coordinates any care you may need outside the office. For example, they can recommend community resources or refer you to a trusted specialist when needed.

What can I expect during a primary care appointment?
When you visit Benech Family Clinic for a primary care appointment, you receive personalized care that focuses on your unique needs.
Your provider begins by reviewing your medical history and learning if you have any current questions or concerns. Then they perform a physical exam and, in many cases, run lab work to identify potential concerns.
After your exam, your provider talks with you about the results of your exam. When needed, they work with you, creating a plan to prevent chronic disease, lower your risk of developing a health condition, or to treat any problems they found during your primary care visit.
Your customized treatment plan may include:
Lifestyle changes
When needed, your provider helps you plan a healthy diet, recommends an exercise regimen, and creates a weight loss management program. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease, dramatically improve with lifestyle changes.
Medications
You may need medications to treat acute or chronic health conditions.
Complementary therapies
Some people can improve their overall health with therapies that complement lifestyle changes and medications. A few examples include stress management, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices.
