SAME DAY SICK VISIT

At Prime Family Medicine & Wellness Center, we understand that illness can strike without warning and waiting days for an appointment is not always an option. That’s why we offer same-day sick visits to provide prompt medical care when you or a loved one is feeling unwell. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, ear pain, stomach upset, or other sudden health concerns, our providers are here to evaluate your condition, offer a diagnosis, and begin treatment right away. We strive to make care accessible, compassionate, and efficient, so you can start feeling better as quickly as possible.  

​​​​

CHECK-UP

A medical check-up is a routine consultation focused on evaluating overall health, even if the patient has no specific complaints. It usually includes:

• Review of medical history and lifestyle habits

• Physical examination

• Ordering or reviewing lab tests and screenings

• Preventive guidance 

• Monitoring or early detection of chronic conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol)

 

PREVENTIVE CARE

Preventive Care is the foundation of long-term health and wellness. Instead of waiting until illness appears, preventive care focuses on protecting your health through regular check-ups, screenings, and lifestyle guidance. At Prime Family Medicine & Wellness Center, our providers work with you to identify potential health risks early, monitor your overall well-being, and create a personalized plan to keep you healthy at every stage of life.

This approach includes services such as annual wellness exams, blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring, vaccinations, women’s and men’s health screenings, and education on nutrition, exercise, and stress management. Preventive care is about more than just avoiding illness — it’s about building a healthier future, catching concerns before they become serious, and helping you feel your best every day.

​​​

PRE-OP CLEARANCE VISIT

A Pre-Operative Clearance Visit (also called Pre-Op Clearance or Pre-Surgical Evaluation) is a medical appointment performed before a planned surgery or procedure. The goal is to ensure that the patient is healthy enough to safely undergo anesthesia and surgery.

During this visit, a healthcare provider will:

• Review medical history – including chronic conditions, previous surgeries, and anesthesia reactions.

• Assess current medications and allergies – adjustments may be recommended before surgery.

• Perform a physical exam – checking heart, lungs, and overall health status.

• Order diagnostic tests – such as blood work, EKG, chest X-ray, or other tests depending on the type of surgery and patient’s health.

• Provide clearance or recommendations – the provider will determine if the patient is medically stable for surgery, or if additional evaluation/treatment is needed.

This visit helps reduce surgical risks, ensures patient safety, and gives both the surgeon and anesthesiologist important information to plan the procedure.

​

DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

Depression and anxiety can affect daily life, relationships, work, and overall well-being. Our compassionate medical team is here to provide support, evaluation, and treatment tailored to your individual needs.

What to Expect During a Visit

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Our providers will take the time to listen, understand your concerns, review your medical history, and discuss current symptoms.

• Personalized Care Plan: Depending on your needs, treatment may include lifestyle guidance, counseling referrals, or prescription medication management.

• Confidential and Supportive Environment: We prioritize your comfort and privacy. Every visit is conducted with professionalism, respect, and understanding.

• Follow-Up & Ongoing Support: Mental health often requires consistent care. We offer regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.

When to Seek Help

If you are experiencing persistent sadness, loss of interest, excessive worry, changes in sleep or appetite, or difficulty managing daily life, it may be time to schedule a visit. Seeking help is a positive step toward feeling better and regaining balance.

​

SPORTS PHYSICAL

Sports Physicals, also known as pre-participation physical exams, are designed to make sure athletes are healthy and ready to safely take part in physical activities. These exams are often required by schools, sports teams, and athletic programs before participation.

At Prime Family Medicine & Wellness Center, our providers carefully evaluate overall health, fitness level, and risk of injury. A typical sports physical includes a review of medical history, vital signs, vision check, heart and lung evaluation, joint and muscle assessment, and discussion of any past injuries or ongoing conditions. If needed, we also provide guidance on injury prevention, nutrition, and safe training practices.

The goal of a sports physical is not only to clear athletes for participation, but also to promote long-term health, reduce the risk of injury, and give families peace of mind. Whether for school athletics, recreational leagues, or competitive sports, our team makes the process simple, thorough, and convenient.

SCHOOL FORMS (2131, 3300)

School Health Forms (Form 3231 & Form 3300)

In Georgia, children are required to have certain health forms completed before starting school or daycare. At Prime Family Medicine & Wellness Center, we make this process simple and convenient for families.

• Form 3231 – Certificate of Immunization
  This form documents that your child has received all state-required vaccinations. Our providers review your child’s immunization record and update vaccines if needed to ensure compliance with Georgia school entry requirements.

• Form 3300 – Certificate of Vision, Hearing, Dental, and Nutrition Screening
  This form confirms that your child has been screened for vision, hearing, dental health, and nutrition. These screenings help identify concerns early so your child can succeed in school with the best possible health support.

Both forms are typically required for school enrollment, pre-K, kindergarten, and daycare programs. We provide thorough evaluations, explain results to parents, and complete the official Georgia Department of Public Health forms during the same visit whenever possible.

By handling your child’s school forms and screenings in one place, we help ensure a smooth and stress-free enrollment process.​​

​

SMALL SUTURES (stitches) used to close wounds, cuts, or surgical incisions. They are made from thin suture material (such as nylon, polypropylene, silk, or absorbable types like polyglycolic acid) and are placed with a needle to hold the edges of skin or tissue together while healing occurs.

Because they are small, these sutures are typically used for delicate areas (like the face, lips, or small lacerations) where precision and minimal scarring are important. They provide just enough strength to keep tissues approximated without causing unnecessary tension or large stitch marks.

​

INCISION AND DRAINAGE (often abbreviated as I&D) is a minor surgical procedure in which a healthcare provider makes a small cut (incision) into the skin or tissue to open up and release the collection of pus, fluid, or blood (usually from an abscess, cyst, or infected wound).

The main steps include:

• Incision: Using a sterile scalpel or blade to open the abscess or fluid pocket.

• Drainage: Allowing the pus or fluid to escape, relieving pressure and pain.

• Irrigation/packing (if needed): The cavity may be washed with sterile solution and sometimes lightly packed with gauze to keep it open and prevent reaccumulation.

Purpose:

• To treat infections that form localized collections of pus.

• To relieve pain, swelling, and pressure.

• To help the infection heal faster, especially when antibiotics alone are not enough.

​

​​​​WOMEN'S HEALTH

• General Check-Up & Preventive Care – Annual physicals, screenings (blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, thyroid, bone health).

• Pap Smear & Cancer Screenings – Basic cervical cancer screening and referrals if needed.

• Family Planning & Birth Control Counseling – Discussion of options and prescriptions.

​

MEN'S HEALTH

• Memory and cognitive health support for conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s.

• Medication reviews to avoid complications from multiple prescriptions.

​

MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS

Medical Weight Loss at Prime Family Medicine & Wellness Center is a medical-guided program that helps you lose weight safely and effectively, with support that’s tailored to your unique health needs. Our approach goes beyond temporary diets — we combine medical expertise, lifestyle guidance, and advanced therapies to help you reach and maintain your goals.

Your journey begins with a complete health evaluation, including a review of your medical history and lab work when appropriate, so we can understand the underlying factors that may be affecting your weight, such as hormones, thyroid function, or metabolism. From there, our team develops a customized plan that may include nutrition coaching, exercise recommendations, lifestyle support, and prescription medications when needed.

For patients who qualify, we offer GLP-1 medications (such as semaglutide or tirzepatide). These treatments help regulate appetite, stabilize blood sugar, and improve metabolism — giving your body the support it needs for sustainable weight loss.

We also provide lipotropic MIC injections (a blend of Methionine, Inositol, and Choline, often combined with vitamin B12). These injections are designed to support fat metabolism, enhance energy, and promote liver health — making them an excellent complement to a structured weight loss plan.

With regular follow-ups, accountability, and compassionate care, our goal is to help you not only lose weight but also feel more energetic, confident, and healthy for the long term.

SERMORELIN THERAPY

 Sermorelin Therapy is an advanced wellness treatment designed to naturally stimulate the body’s own production of growth hormone. As we age, our natural growth hormone levels decline, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, slower metabolism, weight gain, decreased muscle mass, poor sleep, and reduced vitality. Sermorelin, a growth hormone–releasing peptide (GHRH), works by encouraging the pituitary gland to release more of its own growth hormone in a safe and balanced way.

At Prime Family Medicine & Wellness Center, Sermorelin Therapy is offered under careful medical supervision as part of a personalized wellness plan. Many patients report benefits such as improved energy, better sleep quality, enhanced muscle tone, fat reduction, faster recovery, and an overall sense of youthfulness and well-being. Because Sermorelin stimulates your own natural hormone production rather than replacing it, it is considered a gentler and safer alternative to synthetic growth hormone therapy.

This treatment is tailored to your individual health needs, beginning with a full evaluation and lab testing to determine if you are a good candidate. With ongoing monitoring and support, Sermorelin Therapy can help restore balance, boost vitality, and support healthier aging. 

​​​​​

B12 SHOTS

Vitamin B12 Shots are a quick and effective way to restore healthy B12 levels in the body and support overall wellness. Vitamin B12 is essential for energy production, red blood cell formation, brain health, and a healthy metabolism. Many people experience low B12 levels due to diet, stress, certain medications, or medical conditions, which can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, brain fog, mood changes, and difficulty losing weight.

At Prime Family Medicine & Wellness Center, our B12 injections deliver this vital nutrient directly into the bloodstream, ensuring faster absorption and more noticeable results than oral supplements. Patients often report feeling more energetic, focused, and revitalized after treatment. In addition to boosting energy, regular B12 shots may support immune health, improve mood, enhance metabolism, and promote healthier hair, skin, and nails.

Whether used alone or as part of a medical weight loss or wellness plan, B12 shots are a safe, simple, and effective way to give your body the extra support it needs.

​​​​​​

HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a personalized treatment designed to restore balance when the body’s natural hormone levels begin to decline. As we age, shifts in hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can lead to symptoms including fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, brain fog, low libido, hot flashes, and difficulty sleeping. These changes affect both men and women and can significantly impact quality of life.

At Prime Family Medicine & Wellness Center, our providers offer customized hormone replacement therapy to help you feel like yourself again. Through a detailed consultation and lab testing, we identify imbalances and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Depending on your goals and health profile, therapy may include bioidentical hormones, which are plant-derived and chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body.

Patients often report improved energy, better sleep, sharper focus, balanced moods, enhanced sexual health, and easier weight management. With careful monitoring and adjustments, HRT is a safe and effective way to support healthy aging and restore vitality.

​​​​​​

​BLOODWORK

Bloodwork is one of the most important tools we use to understand your overall health and identify concerns before they become serious. By analyzing key markers in your blood, our providers can evaluate how well your organs are functioning, check for signs of illness, monitor chronic conditions, and guide personalized treatment plans.

At Prime Family Medicine & Wellness Center, we offer a wide range of blood tests — from routine panels like cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid, and vitamin levels to more advanced testing for hormones, metabolic function, and preventive health screening. Your results give us valuable insight into what your body needs, allowing us to create a care plan that supports long-term wellness.

Regular bloodwork is an essential part of preventive medicine, helping detect changes early, track progress over time, and give you peace of mind about your health. Our team reviews every result with you, explains what the numbers mean, and provides clear next steps so you feel informed and confident in your care.

​

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDs) are common and treatable, but early detection is key. Our medical team provides confidential testing, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment options in a safe and supportive environment.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive STD Testing: Screening for common infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis, herpes, HPV, and more.

• Discreet & Confidential Care: Your privacy is our priority. All visits, testing, and results are handled with strict confidentiality.

• On-Site & Lab Testing: We offer quick in-office testing when possible, with lab partnerships for additional screenings.

When to Get Tested

• If you have symptoms such as unusual discharge, burning, sores, rashes, or pelvic pain.

• If you have had unprotected sex or a new sexual partner.

• As part of your routine health check-up, even without symptoms (many STDs are silent).

​​​​ ​

SPECIALTY REFERRALS WHEN NECESSARY

If a patient’s condition requires specialized care beyond the scope of family medicine, our providers will coordinate a referral to the appropriate specialist. This ensures that each patient receives the highest level of care for their specific needs.

Examples may include referrals to:

• Cardiology – for heart-related concerns.

• Endocrinology – for diabetes, thyroid, or hormonal issues.

• Gastroenterology – for digestive health problems.

• Dermatology – for skin disorders or advanced treatments.

• Orthopedics – for joint, bone, or muscle conditions.

• Psychiatry / Counseling – for advanced mental health support.

Our team will guide patients through the referral process, provide the necessary documentation, and ensure continuity of care between specialists and our clinic.
