Navigating your health care needs and those of your family and loved ones can be time-consuming and confusing under the best of circumstances. If you throw in chronic disease — 60% of Americans have at least one and 40% have two — and the challenges pile up.
To help you better navigate your health and that of your family, it’s a great idea to have a strong health care team in your corner, such as our team of providers at CareOne Internal Medicine and Primary Care. The benefits of our primary care are almost without limit, but we highlight a few key ones here.
The first thing you want with primary care is to know that you’re in good hands. At our practice, both Dr. Mubarak Khawaja and Dr. Asim Khawaja are board-certified in internal medicine, the medical specialty associated with primary care.
So, from everyday illnesses and injuries to chronic diseases, we’ve got you covered.
Not only are both of our doctors specialists in primary care, but we also offer a unique advantage in that we have two specialists on hand who work closely together to ensure our patients receive comprehensive and experienced care.
One of the biggest benefits of primary care is that you have a team organizing your health care. There are a lot of different aspects of your health, and making sure all of the boxes are checked is paramount. That’s where we come in.
We can organize your preventive and ongoing care to ensure all your bases are covered. We track your needs, including testing, treatments, and specialists, and facilitate your care.
We already alluded to the fact that Americans aren't strangers to chronic disease, a serious threat to our collective health. The top three chronic diseases include heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, and, between them, they change the course of millions of lives.
By the numbers, diabetes alone touches more than 38 million American lives, and nearly half of adults in the United States have cardiovascular disease.
Your primary care provider plays a key role in navigating these chronic health issues and makes sure you’re taking every step possible to manage your disease and improve your health.
While managing current disease is certainly important, our primary care also focuses on disease prevention. Through regular visits, we can spot trends in your health, review your risk factors, and set you on a healthier course.
From losing weight to frequent screening, our goal is to help you stay one step ahead of disease through healthier living.
Our last point is an important one — as primary care providers, we’re invested in your health, and we treat each patient as we would a member of our own families. So, instead of a cold, institutional environment, we offer a friendly oasis of top-notch care.
If you’d like to learn more about our primary care services, don’t hesitate to contact CareOne Internal Medicine and Primary Care in Houston or Katy, Texas, today to schedule an appointment. We also offer telehealth appointments.
