Top Primary Care Doctor in Apple Valley, CA

A primary care center or clinic is intended to provide basic, ongoing medical care to the general population. Primary care clinics are usually meant to treat any issues that do not require immediate medical attention, or that are chronic or ongoing, where the patient has a previously established relationship with the primary care or family doctor on hand. At Dr. Shima Hadidchi MD, we offer primary care physicians on staff as part of our overall services. Like many primary cares, we can offer care and management for things such as:

• Viruses or infections, such as strep throat, tonsillitis, bronchitis, etc. We can provide an assessment and administer medications and treatments as necessary.
• Assessment and management of ongoing or chronic conditions, such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders.

Whether you receive or access care from a primary care provider or a specialist will depend on various factors. A primary care provider is meant to administer basic, general medical care. If your issue or concern is outside of their scope of practice, they may refer you to a specialist. For example, if you are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, your primary care provider will likely give you the information and support you initially need, then refer you to an endocrinologist, a physician trained in the body’s hormone systems who commonly sees patients with diabetes, for further follow-up care and support.

With that said, many chronic health issues or other concerns are often first noticed or diagnosed by a primary care provider. Most people don’t go straight to a specialist when they are feeling unwell but instead need their issue assessed by a primary care doctor, who can then support them in the next steps that they need. At Dr. Shima Hadidchi MD, we offer primary care services as well as more specialized care, such as a women’s health clinic and geriatric-specific services. Regardless of what you need, we have a variety of services and specialists on our team to help you.

The difference between primary care and family care may depend on the situation, but usually, it is simply a difference in language. Primary care is an umbrella term, usually meant to refer to general, basic medical care that does not require immediate medical attention. Family care is a piece of primary care underneath that umbrella; it refers to care provided to family members by one or a few different general practitioners.

At Dr. Shima Hadidchi MD, we offer primary care or family care services, for you and your loved ones for various healthcare needs. Although some patient populations may need more specialized care, such as children or older adults, most people still benefit from having a relationship with a general primary care provider that can get to know them and their needs. If you’re in need of more specialized services, we can also offer that, such as a women’s health clinic or geriatric care services.
