What happens during primary care visits?

Primary care appointments at Red River Family Clinic include:

Vital signs check

Your specialist checks your blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs to screen for potential problems. They also weigh you and determine your body mass index (BMI). They evaluate height, growth, development, and head circumference (if needed) in babies, children, and teenagers.

Medical history discussion

The Red River Family Clinic reviews your medical history, including current and past diagnoses, medications, lifestyle habits, family history of diseases, and more. 

Health exam

Your provider completes a health exam to look for signs of health concerns. They evaluate your vision, hearing, eyes, throat, breathing, heartbeat, neck, abdomen, and more. The practice offers pelvic and breast exams for women and prostate checks for men. 

Disease screening

Screening for diseases may be as simple as completing a lab test, heart or lung function test, imaging procedure, tissue swab, or biopsy. 

Preventive care

Preventive care includes health education, vaccinations, and other solutions that reduce your chance of contracting an illness or disease. 

Treatment

If you need treatment, such as medication prescriptions, medical weight loss, or another health solution, the team customizes a plan that produces effective outcomes.
