Frequently Asked Questions About Family Healthcare | Irongate Family Practice
What services does a primary care provider offer?
Primary care covers much more than treating an illness. Services can include physical exams, preventive care, chronic disease management, medication reviews, diabetes education, heart health support, mental health, smoking cessation, acute care, and coordination of care. Irongate Family Practice focuses on comprehensive, continuous care for patients and families.
How often should I schedule a routine primary care visit?
The ideal schedule depends on your age, health history, medications, and medical needs. Many patients benefit from regular wellness visits to review preventive screenings, medications, and ongoing health concerns. Your provider can recommend a schedule that fits your individual needs.
When should I see a primary care provider instead of going to urgent care?
If you are a patient of Irongate Family Practice, please call us first when you need urgent or same-day medical care. We provide acute care services, including same-day appointments and after-hours care, so our patients generally do not need to visit an urgent care center. Calling Irongate first allows us to provide care based on your medical history and ongoing health needs. For a serious or life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or go directly to the nearest emergency department.
