Do you have a primary care clinic near me in Greater Portland, OR?

Some primary care clinics are open for walk-ins, like ours here at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care. This is really convenient for patients, especially when their family doctor isn’t available for an appointment anytime soon. They’re able to walk right in to see a physician and receive any of the services they’d normally receive from the family doctor, including physical exams. If you can see the value in that, then we’d like to see you here at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care, your primary care clinic near you in Greater Portland, OR.

What is a primary care clinic?


This is where you can go for any type of primary care, which is the most fundamental kind of healthcare. A primary care physician will be able to provide any tests or treatments you require for any common health matter, like pregnancy or a minor sprained ankle. Patients of any sex and any age are welcome, including children and seniors.

That’s not all that a primary care clinic can do for patients. People with chronic conditions, like arthritis or diabetes, can get certain services at a primary care clinic, and anyone of any age can get physical examinations too, including annual exams.

The overall goals for professionals at a primary care clinic are to prevent health issues from occurring or worsening, and to maintain the patient’s general health.

What is secondary care?


At a primary care clinic, patients will be able to receive primary care only. This means they won’t be able to receive emergency care (only the emergency room can provide this) or secondary care (only specialists can provide this level of care). When a patient needs secondary care, it’s simply because they have a health condition that requires the professional expertise of a specialist.

For instance, a patient with a drug addiction might need to see an addiction psychiatrist, or a patient with a heart issue might need to see a heart surgeon. These specialists will be able to provide secondary care that a primary care physician cannot provide. However, a primary care physician is able to provide you with the referral you’ll need if you require the expertise of a specialist.

What can a primary care clinic do for me and my family?


If you have a primary care clinic near you, then you’ll have immediate access to many, many invaluable healthcare services, all available on a walk-in basis. Also, all of these services will be available for anyone else in your family, including the younger and older members.
