Why should I make an appointment?
Having a MSCC primary care physician do annual checkups will keep you healthier. Primary Care, or Family Doctors, diagnose illnesses like the flu, diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as perform routine health screenings and counseling on lifestyle changes in an effort to prevent diseases from developing in the first place.
Our doctors are experienced in treating patients with a life-long chronic illness or infection.
Additionally, it is important for family physicians to recognize complications of therapy and potential medication interactions for those living with a chronic disease. Primary Care expertise is critical for in preventive care and management of chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and renal disease, which have become increasingly important for aging individuals with chronic diseases like HIV infection.

Primary Care physicians treating patients with a chronic illness recognize people with HIV are now living normal life spans, and as their physicians, we need to focus on preventive care, including screening for high cholesterol, diabetes and osteoporosis.
- Most HIV-infected patients on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) can live long, full lives, so their doctors need to provide primary care beyond management of HIV.
- Patients with HIV infection are at increased risk for common conditions such as cardiovascular disease.
