Primary Care Q & A

What does a primary care doctor do?

Primary care doctors like Dr. Babalola work with patients throughout their adult years. With a speciality in disease treatment and prevention, Dr. Babalola can treat your issues whether they’re simple or complex.

More than just disease treatment, primary care doctors take care of each patient’s routine care including immunizations, weight management, and health screenings. They monitor things like blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as complete routine lab work and tests.

Primary care physicians, sometimes referred to as PCPs, also handle patient’s illnesses, sickness, and injuries. They can diagnose and treat most ailments and are the primary lead on their patients’ care.


How often do patients see their primary care doctor?

Each patient is different, and therefore the time between appointments varies. For healthy patients with no medical issues, Dr. Babalola may recommend a yearly physical. This allows her to monitor their health and make sure no issues are arising. By having a yearly appointment, she can also order any testing or screening that need to be done, such as annual blood work or mammograms.

If your health isn’t good, you suffer from a chronic illness, or you’re a senior citizen, Dr. Babalola may recommend more frequent visits. This helps with medication management and can assist with monitoring your condition. Continual lab work may also be necessary so that she can recognize any significant changes to your health.


What should you expect during a primary care appointment at Valley Medical Center?

If you’re visiting Valley Medical Center for an appointment with Dr. Babalola, you will be welcomed by a staff of friendly individuals and a stress-free waiting room. Once taken into your examination room, one of Dr. Babalola’s nurses will review your case and may ask if you’re having any issues. The nurse will then take your weight, temperature, and blood pressure.

Once that’s complete, Dr. Babalola will meet with you. During this visit, she may ask you questions and discuss your medical history. She may have you stand and touch your toes, listen to your heart and lungs, or check your reflex and strength responses. Dr. Babalola will never make you feel rushed: If you have any questions or concerns, this is when you can address them.
