Primary Care

What is primary care?

Primary care is a specialty of medicine that promotes your general health and helps you take steps to prevent illnesses and injuries. At L.A. Urgent Care & Occupational Medicine, you can access fast primary care services like diagnostic testing and general treatments for nonemergency conditions.

Primary care providers have a wide scope of expertise. They can treat conditions and symptoms originating in many different organs and systems and can help you learn to stay healthy in the future. They can also refer you to trusted specialists for more advanced or specific health care.

You should consider attending a walk-in appointment or booking an appointment ahead of time for primary care if you don’t want to wait for hours in an emergency room, if you don’t have a personal primary physician already, or if you need treatment outside of normal business hours.
