What Does a Primary Care Physician Do?
A primary care physician is your first stop for most health concerns and your go-to resource for staying healthy over time.
Primary care includes:
- Preventive care and annual wellness visits
- Diagnosis and treatment of everyday illnesses
- Management of chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure
- Coordination of referrals when specialty care is needed
Primary Care Services for Every Stage of Life
Your health needs do not stay the same over time, and neither should your care. Access Point Healthcare provides primary care that adapts with you, whether that means focused support for men’s or women’s health or ongoing care that keeps everything connected.
Women’s Health & Preventive Care
Women’s health comes with a lot of moving parts, and those needs can shift in ways that are not always straightforward. From cycle changes to pregnancy, hormone shifts, and menopause, it helps to have a provider who takes the time to understand what is normal for you.
This is a space to ask questions, talk through changes, and stay current with the care that supports your health. The focus is not just on checklists, but on making sure you feel comfortable, heard, and confident in your care.
Services include:
- Annual wellness visits
- Pap smears and cervical cancer screenings
- Breast imaging coordination
- Hormone therapy
Men’s Health & Preventive Screenings
Men’s health often gets pushed aside, especially when it comes to things that are not always easy to talk about. That might include changes in energy, low testosterone, weight gain, blood pressure, or sexual health concerns.
Primary care gives you a place to address these concerns directly with a provider who understands how men’s health shifts with age and can help you stay on top of it.
Services include:
- Routine physical exams
- Preventive screenings
- Testosterone and hormone support
Ongoing & Preventive Care
Your primary care provider is the central point for your health, not just a place to go when something feels off.
They keep track of your history, coordinate testing, and help make sure nothing gets missed as different needs come up. Instead of managing care in pieces, everything stays connected and easier to follow.
Care may include:
- Chronic disease management
- Preventive screenings
- Lab services
- Vaccinations

Primary Care Q & A
What is primary care?
Primary care is typically a patient’s first contact when they need medical assistance. Primary care providers are trained to treat most illnesses and diseases except those that need a specialist’s care. In those cases, your provider coordinates with health care specialists to provide you with a complete treatment program.
The principles of primary care include disease prevention, health promotion, patient education, counseling, diagnosis, and treatment.
What are the different types of primary care?
Many primary care providers go on to specialize in one or more areas after completing their medical studies. These areas include:
Family medicine
A family medicine doctor treats the entire family, from infants to seniors.
Pediatrics
A pediatrician treats children from birth until they turn 18. Some pediatricians will see longtime patients up to age 25.
Geriatrics
A gerontologist specializes in caring for people 65 and older.
Internal medicine
An internist treats only adults.
Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN)
An OB/GYN provides women with reproductive health and family planning services.
Dr. Shaaban is a primary care family medicine physician with years of experience in providing health management services.
What services come under primary care?
Access Point Healthcare offers a broad range of primary care services, including:
- Chronic medical treatment and management
- Annual wellness exams
- In-office lab testing
- In-office pharmacy
- Immunizations (routine and seasonal)
- Routine preventive screenings
Dr. Shaaban takes an integrative approach to primary care, a patient-centered method that treats the whole person, not just the immediate problem. Integrative medicine follows five core principles:
- To provide a close partnership between patient and practitioner
- To combine conventional and alternative treatments
- To emphasize natural, non-invasive treatments
- To take into account everything that influences health, wellness, and disease
- To base all diagnostic and treatment decisions on scientifically sound, research-based learning
Combining primary care with integrative treatment allows Dr. Shaaban to provide comprehensive, preventive medical services to his patients.
What are the benefits of having a primary care provider?
Many people become frustrated when they schedule an appointment at the doctor’s office and see a different provider each time. Primary care offers more consistent care, where you see the same provider every time.
This level of care allows you to build a deeper, more trusting relationship with your doctor. They get to know your complete health history, making it easier for them to notice changes in your health, and work with you to set up long-term health goals and understand your health concerns.
Other benefits of primary care include:
- Better access to health care services
- Focus on preventive health
- Reduced need for specialist care
- Improved health care quality
Illness and disease always cause you to worry. When you partner with Dr. Shaaban, you get a provider who works to understand your total health profile — mind, body, and spirit. He provides exceptional care services to all his patients. Call Access Point Healthcare today to make an appointment or book online.
