Which services do you offer through primary care?

Dragon Healthcare Services and Med Spa offer many primary care services, including: 

Diagnostic services

An essential part of primary care is getting the proper diagnosis when you have an illness or injury. Dr. Dragon offers diagnoses of acute and chronic conditions.

Physical exams and wellness checks

A regular physical exam should be part of your annual health care routine. These checks ensure that your health is on track and that you’re up-to-date on screenings.

Acute illness treatment

If you have sudden symptoms, like a fever or an unexplained rash, Dr. Dragon offers evaluation and treatment to get you back to feeling your best.

Chronic disease management

Chronic diseases are illnesses that persist for one year or longer and include diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney diseases. Chronic conditions often cause symptoms and complications for the rest of your life. Dr. Dragon helps you manage chronic illness with ongoing testing, medications, and treatments. 

Geriatrics

Geriatric care offers personalized services to older adults with more than one chronic condition or other special needs. Dr. Dragon coordinates care among providers and provides support to families.

Why do I need a primary care provider?

A trusted primary care provider gives you the support necessary for non-emergency health questions or concerns. When you find a primary care provider and visit them regularly for wellness exams and other services, they become familiar with your health habits and patterns. This means they are alert to changes in you that could indicate a health concern.

Primary care providers diagnose conditions early when they’re relatively easy to treat.
