Our Philosophy
The Balance
We strive for the most appropriate and evidence-based diagnosis, treatment and disease prevention solutions. However, we avoid overtreatment or diagnostics that may cause unnecessary harm. Benefits, side effects, costs, and practicality specific to a patient’s situation are all carefully considered.
A Focus on Communication and Efficiency
Doctor’s appointments can be stressful. We understand. We don't want to add to your stress by having long wait times and long call back times. Instead, we’d like you to focus on your health. At Synergy Primary Care, we respect and value your time by emphasizing communication and efficiency in order to provide you with the highest quality of care.
Lifestyle Matters
Medication is not the only option. Every patient has a unique lifestyle that we take into account when determining how to improve their health. Treatment plans can sometimes be as simple as exercising, limiting salt intake, and losing weight. Contact us to find out how we can assist you in developing an individualized treatment plan during your visit.
