Why might I need direct primary care?

They can treat primary health care problems, such as illnesses, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other chronic conditions to prevent serious complications.
Los Angeles Primary Care staff offer a wide array of diagnostic tests, women’s and men’s health exams, vaccinations, and more for adult men and women of all ages.
What should I expect during my appointment?
When you arrive at Los Angeles Primary Care for an appointment, friendly staff members greet you. Your provider checks your weight, pulse, temperature, blood pressure, and other vital signs. Dr. Ramadan reviews your medical history, including past diagnoses, medications you might take, and any symptoms you might have.
She completes a physical examination, including pelvic exams in women as needed and prostate screening in men. Dr. Ramadan might recommend you undergo urine tests, blood tests, allergy or asthma testing, nasal or throat swabs, sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing, electrocardiograms (EKGs), X-rays, or other imaging procedures when necessary.
She takes as much time as you need to answer questions about your health, so you never feel rushed. Dr. Ramadan personalizes each treatment plan based on your unique needs.
How often should I schedule direct primary care visits?
Schedule a physical examination with Los Angeles Primary Care every year to optimize your health and wellness. Make an appointment more often if Dr. Ramadan recommends it to properly manage an illness or disease, or when you experience new or unusual symptoms.
Don’t settle for long wait times, rushed appointments, or limited access to medical providers. Schedule a direct primary care appointment with Los Angeles Primary Care by phone or use the online booking feature today.
