Many adults in The Woodlands search for an internal medicine doctor when they want a main doctor for checkups and ongoing conditions. Our family medicine providers offer that adult primary care at our clinic on Budde Rd.
Internal medicine doctors, also called internists, train to care for adults. Family medicine doctors train to care for adults and children. For adult patients, the day-to-day care is very similar. Both types of doctors provide checkups, screenings and vaccines. Both treat common illnesses and manage long-term conditions. Both refer patients to specialists when a problem needs one.
Woodlands Primary Healthcare is a family medicine practice. Our providers see adults of every age, including older adults, and they also see children. Some families like having one clinic for everyone in the household.
This care fits adults who want one main doctor to coordinate their health. That includes people who are new to the area, people whose previous doctor retired or moved, and people who have not had a regular doctor for a while. It also fits adults with ongoing conditions who need regular follow-up and lab work.
Your primary care provider handles most adult health needs. Some problems call for a specialist, such as a cardiologist for certain heart conditions or an endocrinologist for hard-to-control hormone problems. When that happens, your provider can refer you and keep track of the results so your care stays coordinated.
Adults with ongoing conditions usually need regular visits to check blood pressure, review lab results and adjust medications. Your provider sets a follow-up schedule that fits your condition. Some of these visits, such as reviewing lab results or refilling prescriptions, can be handled by telemedicine. Others need an in-person exam. Seeing the same office each time makes it easier to notice changes over time.
A few practical points can help when you compare offices:
At your first visit, your provider reviews your medical history, family history, current medications and any recent test results. You will talk about your health goals and any symptoms you have. Your provider will let you know which screenings or vaccines are due and set a plan for follow-up visits.
If you are switching doctors, ask your previous office to send your records before your visit.
You can review the plans we work with on our insurance page. If you do not see your plan, call our office and our staff can help check your benefits before the visit.
