Primary Care Specialist

What is primary care?

Primary care is your first point of contact for all your medical needs. The team at Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, PLLC, provides comprehensive care for every member of your family, regardless of their age or gender. They focus on preventive care to keep you and your family healthy but also diagnose and treat acute and chronic illnesses. 

What services are included in primary care?

Your annual wellness visit is the foundation of primary care. You and your physician meet to review your health and perform any necessary health screenings or tests. These tests are recorded in your medical history, so your doctor can see any changes in your health quickly. 

During these visits, you and your provider get to know each other and build a lasting partnership in health. They can provide any immunizations you need, from booster shots for tetanus and flu shots to travel vaccines. 

The team at Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, PLLC, is unique in that the physicians are trained in both internal medicine and pediatrics, which allow them to deliver outstanding, customized care to patients of all ages. 

While the team includes doctors with many different subspecialties, if you need a referral, your doctor can recommend some of the best specialists in the greater Nashville area.

When should I see a primary care provider?

You and every member of your family should see your primary care provider at least once a year for your annual wellness visit. These yearly checkups are critical to monitoring your family’s health and development and diagnosing any emerging health conditions in their early stages. 

Additionally, if you get sick or have a mild injury, your primary care provider can diagnose and treat your condition. The team at Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, PLLC, offers same-day and next-day appointments whenever possible, as well as a walk-in clinic for urgent care needs. 

If you’re looking for a primary care provider for your whole family or are due for an annual wellness visit, call Cool Springs Internal Medicine & Pediatrics, PLLC, or make an appointment online today.
