While most children should visit a primary care physician once per year, healthy adults at average risk for serious conditions may be able to schedule an appointment every 2-3 years until they turn 30 or 40, after which an annual check-up is typically a good idea, as this is when many common diseases including diabetes and hypertension become more common and likely to develop. Of course, patients with chronic conditions that require ongoing attention and monitoring may need to see their doctor more frequently in order to receive the best treatment. At North Tex MedCare Clinic and Urgent Care, we are proud to offer our patients convenient access to exceptional primary care doctors who can provide important information on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle while also performing necessary physical exams and administering vaccinations. Patients may also see their primary care physician for acute illnesses or minor injuries as needed throughout the year.
