Reseda CA Primary Care Clinic

Primary care covers a wide range of services, including the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of numerous conditions, diseases, and injuries. As such, primary care doctors serve as the initial point of contact for any health-related concern, issue, or question that their patients have. As such, primary care doctors commonly provide the following services to their patients:

• Diagnosis, treatment, and management of various acute and chronic illnesses
• Disease prevention
• Health promotion
• Physical examinations
• Prescription medication and refills
• Specialist referrals

At Rachman Medical Group, our primary care physicians provide all of the services listed above, in addition to a variety of other services, including addiction treatment and medical marijuana treatment.

In general, primary care doctors specialize in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatric medicine, or general medicine. That said, primary care doctors often have specialties in other medical fields, as well. At Rachman Medical Group, our medical director, Dr. Ilya Rachman MD, specializes in internal medicine and has decades of medical experience. As such, he is a top-rated choice for a primary care doctor if you are looking for one near Reseda CA!

The benefits of having a primary care doctor far outweigh any benefits of not having one. While you can always go to an urgent care clinic or emergency room for medical care if you do not have a primary care doctor, you will likely lack a sense of familiarity, established trust, and continuity with the constantly changing cast of doctors you see if you rely on urgent care clinics or emergency rooms for your medical care.

In contrast, having a primary care doctor provides you with familiarity, trust, and continuity concerning your medical care. Your primary care doctor will have an in-depth and detailed understanding of your medical history, which will enable them to give you the best possible medical treatment, advice, and guidance given your overall health and lifestyle. As such, having a primary care doctor is especially beneficial when you are concerned about symptoms you are experiencing, need to see a specialist, or are looking for medical advice and guidance.

While family practice and primary care are related, they are not the same thing. As mentioned, primary care can involve internal medicine, which exclusively treats adults, pediatric medicine, which only treats children and adolescents, or family medicine, which treats both children and adults. In this way, family practice participates in primary care, but the two terms are not interchangeable.
