What's Different About Dr. Parry?
Unlike many other primary care doctors whose only focus is general wellness, Dr. Parry also provides some additional specialty services in-house.

What is Primary Care?
A primary care doctor is a type of doctor that provides general medical services to patients. They are usually the first doctor that a patient sees when they have a health concern, and they provide routine checkups and general medical care. Primary care doctors can also refer patients to specialists if necessary.
In addition to general medical care, primary care doctors can also:
- Refer patients to specialists
- Order and interpret diagnostic tests
- Prescribe medications
- Provide preventive care (including physical exams)
- Give health advice and education
Primary care physicians play an important role in keeping their patients healthy. They are the first line of defense against illness and disease, and they can provide a wealth of knowledge about staying healthy and preventing disease.

What To Expect During a Visit?
When you visit your primary care doctor, they will take a medical history and perform a physical examination. They may also order tests, such as blood work or a urine test, to help diagnose your condition. Based on the results of your exam and any tests that are performed, your primary care doctor will make a diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan.
If you have a primary care physician that you see regularly, they will get to know you and your medical history over time. This can be helpful when it comes to identifying potential health concerns early, and promptly beginning a treatment plan.
