Family Medicine Services in Cordova, Tennessee
NuvaCare Clinic provides family medicine and primary care in Cordova, Tennessee, for children, teenagers and adults. The purpose of family medicine is continuity: preventive care when you are well, evaluation when you are sick, ongoing management when a condition becomes chronic and a physician relationship that can continue as your healthcare needs change.
Primary Care and Annual Physicals
Primary care at NuvaCare includes routine visits, annual physicals, preventive-care discussions, medication review and evaluation of new concerns. Preventive medicine is not a single test; it is the process of looking at age, history, family history, risk factors and current health needs and deciding which screenings, vaccines or follow-up may be appropriate.
Sick Visits
NuvaCare evaluates common illnesses and symptoms within the scope of family medicine. Patients with cough, fever, sore throat, urinary symptoms, minor injuries or other non-emergency concerns may call the clinic to request a visit. Severe or life-threatening symptoms should be treated as emergencies rather than routine office visits.
Chronic Disease Management
Family medicine also means helping patients manage conditions that require ongoing follow-up. NuvaCare provides chronic disease management for conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, including medication review, monitoring and preventive care based on the patient’s individual needs.
Children and teenagers can receive well visits, sick visits, vaccinations and school and sports physicals through NuvaCare’s family medicine practice. A child can receive care in the same practice where a parent establishes primary care, which can make family healthcare easier to coordinate.
Women’s Health and Men’s Health
NuvaCare provides primary and preventive care for both women and men. Women can receive routine primary care, chronic disease management and women’s health services, with prenatal and obstetric care available through Dr. Ojeda-Cruzado’s obstetric practice. Men can receive annual physicals, preventive care and chronic disease management, including care for health concerns that are easy to postpone when work and family are busy.
