What is primary care? Why do I need it?
Primary care is the delivery of basic, non-specialized healthcare that helps patients maintain peak overall health. Unlike specialist care, primary care focuses on the major factors that impact the development of long-term healthcare conditions such as chronic diseases.
A primary care provider helps patients avoid, or control, their current health status through procedures that help screen and detect new healthcare issues. For example, an annual checkup from a primary care provider helps to determine how patients can improve their overall health with various screenings like blood pressure tests, height/weight checks, vision, hearing, and lab tests.
Many patients value the relationship with a trusted primary care provider because they help to identify specific healthcare goals and challenges on a patient-by-patient basis. The patient-provider relationship is crucial to ensure that patients make more positive healthcare choices.
Primary care providers are also skilled in patient education, disease prevention, and counseling to help inform patients.
Without Routine primary care visits, patients may experience a worsening in their overall health, miss important medical diagnoses, and experience a lower quality of life.

AFC Urgent Care FAQs
-
When should I see an emergency room doctor?
If you’re experiencing a life-threatening emergency like a heart attack, head injury, or gunshot wound, the emergency room is the best choice. If you’re experiencing an urgent, non-life-threatening medical problem like the ones listed above, your local AFC can help.

How long does a typical visit to an AFC clinic last?
That depends on the services you need and how busy our office is that day. We’ve streamlined our services with wait times that are often under 15 minutes. Many people can get in and out in 30 minutes for primary medical care.
-
When can I visit my AFC clinic?
Another great advantage of choosing AFC is that we offer flexible hours that often go later than the typical primary care physician’s. Many of our clinics are open until 8:00 p.m.
