Primary Care Physicians and Family Doctors in Ayer

Primary care physicians (PCPs) are on the front line of health care, providing everything from diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and chronic conditions to patient education and advice regarding disease prevention.

Receiving an annual physical from your primary care physician is important for maintaining good health, but their role goes far beyond checking your cholesterol and blood pressure once a year.

Your PCP will be there for you if you feel sick, have an infection, 0r are experiencing women’s or men’s health issues. They should be the expert you know and rely on for all your health needs – big and small.

Steward Medical Groups’s board-certified primary care doctors in the Nashoba Valley region are currently accepting new patients. Schedule a primary care appointment by calling 978-784-9000.
 

What Do Primary Care Physicians (PCP) Do?
  • Primary care doctors recommend and administer vaccinations
  • They learn your medical history inside and out, including potential congenital and hereditary issues, and give you advice on healthy lifestyle habits you can adopt to combat those risks
  • If you’re struggling with your weight, addiction, ED or any other health issue, they will provide non-judgmental, compassionate advice, education and resources to help
  • They will perform physicals and checkups, running blood tests, EKGs and other screenings to catch any potential health issues as early as possible
  • If your PCP discovers potential warning signs for diseases or health conditions, they will help you find an appropriate specialist
  • They will be your advocate and take a hand in coordinating your care while providing support if you’re struggling with health problems
