📣 Patient Communication Update 📣

To better serve all of our patients, please note:

📞 Return calls may take up to 48 hours.
We appreciate your patience as we work through messages as quickly as possible.

💬 For quicker communication, we encourage you to send us a message through the patient portal.

🧪 All normal lab results will be sent directly through the patient portal, so be sure to check there for updates.
If you need access to the patient portal, call our office for a unique PIN to login with.

🧪 Most abnormal lab results will require an office visit to discuss the labs and any further treatment or testing necessary. We will call you to schedule this once we receive the lab results.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us provide the best care possible! 💙

💡 Medical Fact of the Day

Did you know… preventive care can stop many diseases before they even start?

In fact, experts estimate that up to 80% of chronic diseases and premature deaths may be preventable with healthy lifestyle choices and routine checkups. 

That means things like:
✔️ Annual wellness visits
✔️ Blood pressure checks
✔️ Screenings and labs
✔️ Healthy diet & exercise

These simple steps can help catch problems early—when they’re easier to treat and often less serious. 

👩‍⚕️ At Primary Care South, we’re here to help you stay healthy—not just treat you when you’re sick.

📅 Don’t wait—schedule your check-up today!
