Primary Care

Primary care serves as the starting point for all of your health and wellness needs and is an area of specialty for Valerie Lozier, PsyD, FNP-BC, and the team at Lozier Medicine LLC, in Intervale, New Hampshire. If you’re interested in partnering with a provider who offers personalized, compassionate care, call the office to schedule a visit, or book online in just moments. 

Why is primary care important?

If you envision all of the medical providers you’ll need throughout life as a team, then your primary care provider is the coach. This professional serves as the coordinator and provider of all of your routine health needs. 

Primary care begins with comprehensive annual exams. These visits give your practitioner an overview of how well your organs and systems are functioning. The screenings performed at your annual exams form the baseline of health in your medical record. They can also reveal signs of serious health issues like chronic disease. 

If you experience an illness or injury, your primary care provider offers a place to turn. In-depth diagnostics strive to determine the cause of your symptoms. Your provider then explains all treatment paths in detail, giving you everything you need to make an informed decision about your treatment.  

How often should I  see my primary care provider?

Most people only need to come in once a year for annual exams. If an issue arises, you may need to come in for a sick visit. People with one or more forms of chronic disease may need to book multiple visits throughout the year for chronic disease management. 

Once you begin working with the team at Lozier Medicine LLC for primary care services, you should never hesitate to reach out to the office with questions or concerns. All team members share a desire to help you and your family feel great every day. 

How can my primary care practitioner help if I need to see a specialist?

From time to time, you may need to work with a specialist. A prime example is when a woman decides to become pregnant and add to her family. In the event you need specialized care, your primary care practitioner helps you find the right specialist for your needs. 

Once you are in specialized care, your primary care provider remains in communication with your extended care team. This ensures your medical record is properly updated and that you can expect continuity of care once your needs are met. 

If you have additional questions about how primary care can enhance your life, call the office to book a visit. Online scheduling is also an option and is a fast and easy way to connect with Lozier Medicine LLC.
