Services
Under the guidance of Dr. David Schumer and Nurse Practitioner Modeline Jules, we offer a wide spectrum of primary care and medical services tailored to the individual needs of each patient. From preventive care to specialized treatments, our comprehensive approach ensures the highest standard of healthcare delivery.
Primary Care Services
Our primary care services offer comprehensive and continuous care to patients from birth through their elderly years, encompassing everything from preventive and acute care to chronic disease management.
Our range of primary care services extends beyond just acute care and chronic care management. Additional primary care services we offer our patients include the following.
Wellness Exams/Physicals
Wellness exams, or physicals, are fundamental components of primary care, offering an opportunity for our providers to assess a patient's overall health, identify potential risk factors for disease, and promote healthy lifestyle habits. These routine assessments typically include measurements of vital signs, screenings for various health conditions, and discussions about preventive measures such as vaccinations and additional health screenings.
Immunizations
Immunizations are a critical component of preventive care and offer protection against a wide range of infectious diseases. Routine vaccinations are administered according to recommended schedules for children, adolescents, and adults, helping prevent outbreaks and reduce the spread of vaccine-preventable illnesses within communities.
Sexual Health
Sexual health services often include prescribing contraception and providing counseling on reproductive health, family planning options, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention. Our providers take pride in specializing in the insertion and management of intrauterine devices (IUDs), which are highly effective forms of contraception placed in a woman’s uterus.
Diagnostic Services
Diagnostic services are crucial in primary care, as they allow for early detection and accurate diagnosis of health conditions and allow for timely and effective treatment. Our dedicated providers offer a range of diagnostic services to our patients.
Skin Biopsy
Skin biopsy procedures are performed in primary care settings to obtain tissue samples for the diagnosis of skin disorders and the detection of cancerous growths. This diagnostic procedure is often utilized when evaluating suspicious skin lesions or persistent skin conditions that require further evaluation by a pathologist.
Blood Draws
In-house blood draws and lab work services are essential for timely diagnosis and management of medical conditions. Having the capability to perform laboratory tests on-site with rapid turnaround times allows our providers to make informed decisions quickly, leading to more efficient and effective patient care.
Electrocardiograms
Electrocardiograms (EKGs) are valuable diagnostic tools used in primary care to assess heart function and detect abnormalities in cardiac rhythm. These noninvasive tests provide important information that helps in the diagnosis and management of various heart conditions, including arrhythmias, heart attacks, and heart failure.
Spirometry
Spirometry testing is conducted in primary care settings to assess lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and interstitial lung diseases. By measuring lung volumes and airflow, spirometry helps healthcare providers evaluate respiratory symptoms and monitor disease progression over time.
Specialty Services
Our providers specialize in additional services outside of the primary care lens. In addition to providing physical exams and lab testing, we are also proud to offer a variety of specialty services to ensure patients receive comprehensive medical care all under one roof.
Joint Injections
Joint injections, commonly performed in primary care settings, involve the administration of medications such as corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid directly into painful joints to alleviate inflammation and discomfort. This treatment approach is often effective on conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other joint-related issues.
Dermatology
Dermatology services offered in primary care settings address a wide range of skin conditions, from common issues like acne and eczema to more serious concerns such as skin cancer. Our providers are trained to diagnose and manage various dermatological conditions, providing initial evaluations, treatments, and referrals to dermatologists for specialized care, when needed.
Counseling
Counseling services offered within primary care encompass a wide range of mental health support, including therapy sessions for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and other emotional challenges. Our dedicated providers may also offer counseling on lifestyle modifications, coping strategies, and referrals to mental health specialists, when necessary.
Travel Medicine
Travel medicine services cater to individuals planning international travel by providing vaccinations, medications, and personalized health advice tailored to specific destinations and travel itineraries. These services help travelers minimize health risks associated with infectious diseases, environmental hazards, and other travel-related health concerns.
