Primary Care Q & A
What is a primary care physician?
Primary care physicians serve as the one person you can count on for all your medical care. As both a primary care provider and family physician, Dr. Swauncy is fully trained to diagnose and treat all the different health conditions that affect children, adolescents, and adults, including geriatric primary care.
Dr. Swauncy values long-term relationships with each patient. The longer he works with you, the better he understands your medical history and the more he can deliver the best care for your individual needs.
Why do you need a primary care doctor?
Health insurance providers usually require you to name a primary care physician, but there’s an even better reason to have a primary care doctor: It’s better for your health. Studies show that patients who have designated a primary care physician stay healthier as they get older.
Dr. Swauncy offers specialized services to protect your health, such as:
Advocacy
Dr. Swauncy serves as your advocate and continues to manage your care when you need a medical specialist or community-based services.
Medication management
Adults with chronic health conditions, especially geriatric patients, often take multiple medications. Taking several medications significantly increases your risk of interactions and side effects. To be sure you’re safe, Dr. Swauncy can review all your medications, including those prescribed by other doctors and over-the-counter supplements.
Preventive care
When you have a primary care physician, you’re more likely to go in for annual preventive checkups, which also means you’re less likely to develop a chronic illness.
Health care partner
Dr. Swauncy takes the time to talk about your concerns, explain your health problems, and work with you as a partner when it comes to treatment decisions.
