In honor of National Primary Care Week, Dr. Asad Bedran, Family Medicine Physician in #LagunaNiguel explains why selecting a Primarey Care Physician is so essential:
“I believe having a point of contact for your healthcare is very important. Having a PCP helps in the prevention of disease and offers any translation needed to clarify confusion for patients. I went into medicine to improve preventative measures and due to the untimely loss of a dear friend. Every day, my main goals are to treat every patient like family and help improve their quality of life." #NPCW2020

Did you know #UrgentCare centers can treat many types of conditions and illnesses?

"The most gratifying aspects of primary care lie in building relationships with patients that give them a sense of being cared for as someone uniquely special. The current digital world can create a sense that everyone is the same like bricks, but in actuality we are each like stones, uniquely shaped. You can build a wall with either, but uniquely fitted stones have a power and a beauty that look like the human race.” Dr. Teresa Shields-Szabo
