Primary care is the first place you go when you have a health problem. The Umbrella HealthCare team offers comprehensive primary care that covers an extensive range of services, including diagnosing and treating both acute ailments and chronic conditions.
The only time you should go elsewhere for help is in an emergency, such as experiencing a heart attack or stroke symptoms or suffering a serious injury like a compound fracture (where the bones are protruding through your skin). In these cases, you should get to your nearest hospital emergency room or call 911.
Primary care services cover most conditions, but your provider can refer you if you require specialized care. For example, you might need to see an oncologist if you have cancer or a cardiologist if you have congestive heart failure.
