We’re dedicated to working with you to uncover the underlying causes of any health changes in your life through our principled approach to primary care focused on preventative care, examination, and testing.
Our primary care doctors At Excelsior Healthcare have been trained by the world’s leading medical schools, and are trained to diagnose and provide treatment plans that fit your specific health needs. This ranges anywhere from providing management of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma to providing simple annual check ups.
At Excelsior Healthcare, our primary care practitioners are more than just “doctors” – they are your main point of contact for your healthcare needs and responsible for overseeing your overall well-being.
Is there a difference between a primary care doctor and a family doctor?
Yes – there is a slight nuanced difference. While both primary care doctors and family doctors may provide care for both children and adults, a family doctor usually has a broader scope of practice age-wise in terms of providing care for pediatric patients (as a child, you probably went to a family doctor).
On the other hand, a primary care doctor has a specific focus on providing care tailored to the unique needs of adult patients, including expertise in identifying and diagnosing adult-specific diseases and conditions along with helping you maintain good health through regular screenings and lifestyle guidance as you age.

How often should I schedule appointments with my primary care physician?
The frequency of appointments with your PCP may vary depending on your individual health status, but regular check-ups with your primary care doctor are crucial for maintaining good health as a general rule of thumb. These checkups can be as simple as having annual physical exams to regularly check for and catch potential health issues early on, with additional testing as needed.
This being said, if you suffer from any chronic health conditions, you may need to make more frequent visits to your primary care physician in order to monitor your symptoms and treatment progress.
