Primary Care

Primary care is basic, first-contact healthcare for common issues and preventive needs.

Physicals

Routine check-ups to assess overall health and catch potential issues early.

Vaccinations

Shots that protect against infectious diseases by building immunity.

Family Planning

Services that help individuals manage reproductive health and plan pregnancies.

Seasonal Allergy Relief at First Step Primary Care

People visit a primary care doctor for seasonal allergies to get effective relief from symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and sinus pressure. A primary care provider can help determine whether the symptoms are truly allergy-related or caused by another condition, such as a cold or sinus infection. They can recommend or prescribe appropriate medications, such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, or allergy shots, and provide personalized advice on how to reduce exposure to allergens. Seeing a primary care doctor ensures consistent care and helps manage symptoms before they interfere with daily life.

Telemedicine

Telemedicine uses digital tools like video calls and secure messaging to provide healthcare remotely. It allows patients to consult with doctors without visiting a clinic, making care more accessible and convenient. This is especially helpful for routine checkups and people in remote areas.

Adult Vaccinations

Adult vaccinations protect against serious diseases like the flu, shingles, and pneumonia. They help maintain health, prevent the spread of illness, and are especially important as the immune system weakens with age. Staying up to date on vaccines is a key part of preventive healthcare.

Eye Exams

Eye exams at a primary care office often include basic vision screening and checks for common eye issues. These exams can help detect early signs of problems like blurry vision or eye strain. If needed, your doctor may refer you to an eye specialist for further evaluation.

Family Planning

Contraceptive Services

Primary care offices often provide a range of contraceptive services, including birth control pills, patches, injections, and counseling on various options. They can also offer prescriptions for emergency contraception and insert long-acting methods like IUDs or implants, depending on the provider. During the visit, patients can discuss their health, lifestyle, and preferences to find the best method. Follow-up care and routine monitoring are also available as part of ongoing support.

Physicals

Sports Physicals

Sports physicals at a primary care office are designed to ensure a child or teen is healthy enough to safely participate in athletic activities. The visit typically includes a detailed review of personal and family medical history, a physical exam, and a discussion of any past injuries, illnesses, or ongoing health concerns. Doctors often check vital signs, vision, heart and lung function, joints, strength, and flexibility. These exams help identify potential health risks and provide an opportunity to address any issues before the sports season begins.
