Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic condition in which the body’s own immune system attacks the joint lining. This autoimmune disorder usually affects the hands and feet and can cause pain even when the joint is not being moved.
Sinusitis
Most acute cases of sinusitis are caused by an inflammation of the sinuses that eventually lead to a bacterial infection. With chronic sinusitis, the membranes of both the paranasal sinuses and the nose are thickened because they are constantly inflamed, possibly due to allergies, nasal polyps, or asthma.
Medical Weight Loss
The majority of weight control methods focus very heavily on calorie intake and expenditure, as the only logical and proven method of weight loss is a negative energy balance between the two. This negative energy balance can be manipulated in many ways, mainly through both diet and exercise.
Pediatric Care
Prime HealthCare's Family Medicine Practice provides primary care for patients in all stages of their life including infants, children, adolescents, adults and seniors. This includes preventive care, managing chronic conditions, pediatrics and adolescent health, women's health and gynecology, and men's health issues.
Primary Care
In recent years, there has been a large demand for more primary care providers. NPs can easily fill these roles to help people achieve and/or maintain good health.
Ear Infections
Ear infections are one of the most common diseases in children and occur most often between the ages of four months and five years, although older children and adults may be affected as well. An infection occurs when excess fluid, often as a result of a cold, becomes trapped in the eustachian tubes or infected by bacteria. This fluid pushes against the eardrum and causes pain.
Sleep Disorders
PRIME HEALTHCARE PULMONARY GROUP consists of six board-certified physicians and three nurse practitioners specializing in pulmonary diseases, critical care medicine, internal medicine and sleep medicine. Our staff is highly experienced in the treatment of a broad range of pulmonary diseases and sleep disorders, offering a wide array of treatment options for asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, lung cancer and other malignancies of the respiratory system, sleep disordered breathing, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other pulmonary disorders such as pneumonia, bronchitis and tuberculosis.
Family Practice
Prime HealthCare Family Medicine practitioners believe that establishing relationships with the entire family builds a foundation for a lifetime of health and wellness. Patients build a bond with their family medicine practitioner. Parents especially appreciate the convenience of having one doctor for everyone in the family.
High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows your doctor to visually examine the inside of the colon for closer inspection of irregularities. This is accomplished by inserting a tube with a camera on the end into the anus and through the colon. The images from the camera are viewed either through the instrument or on a display monitor.
Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Constipation is a common condition that involves infrequent or hard bowel movements that may occur as a result of insufficient fluid consumption or a diet that does not contain enough fiber. Depending on how often you normally have a bowel movement will determine what is considered to be “infrequent” for each individual patient, but is usually defined as fewer than three stools a week. Patients with irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes or other conditions may be at an increased risk of experiencing constipation.
Bronchitis
Diarrhea
Pneumonia

Gynecology

Internal Medicine
Comprehensive care is the primary goal of Prime HealthCare internal medicine practitioners. We treat patients with diseases affecting particular organs or organ systems, along with chronic deseases, diabetes, hypertension and women's and men's health issues. Our practitioners can provide general health assessments, help patients manage chronic conditions and provide referrals to specialists when necessary.
Gastroenterology
Prime HealthCare Gastroenterology is a group of physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the digestive system. We have been providing cutting edge diagnostic services, consultations and expert care for over 40 years.
Urology
Prime HealthCare has two urology groups. Both consist of Board-certified Urologists, Nurse Practitioners and support staff who provide innovative, minimally invasive urologic care. Both groups are dedicated to delivering compassionate, high quality care which is reflected in the state of the art equipment and cutting edge technology. Our offices are warm, friendly and patient oriented.
Colon Cancer
Colon cancer refers to cancer of the large intestine (colon) while rectal cancer refers to cancer of the last 6 inches of the colon (rectum). Cancers affecting either of these organs are collectively known as colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in men around the world, and fourth most common for women.
Endoscopy
Treatment for Barrett’s esophagus depends on the severity of the condition and the overall health of the patient, but may include simply monitoring the condition through regular endoscopies, or surgery to remove the esophagus or the damaged cells. Removing damaged cells can often be done using minimally invasive techniques, such as an endoscopy or photodynamic therapy. Your doctor will help decide which treatment option is best for your individual condition.
Urinary Tract Infection
A urinary tract infection is a common infection of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. The urinary tract refers to just the bladder and the urethra, and an infection can develop in either of these areas. These infections occur much more frequently in women than in men and can cause intense pain.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Endocrinology
Prime HealthCare Endocrinology is a group of physicians and nurse practitioners who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to hormones. Endocrinology covers such human functions as the coordination of metabolism, respiration, reproduction, sensory perception, and movement. Endocrinology also focuses on the endocrine glands and tissues that secrete hormones.

MRI
Cushing’s syndrome is generally diagnosed by a dexamethasone suppression test. This test releases a hormone that provides negative feedback on the pituitary gland in respect to cortisol, which causes normal patients to enter significantly low levels of cortisol. Cushing’s patients, however, would still display unaffected to elevated levels of cortisol. The test is usually confirmed by a CT scan of the adrenal glands and an MRI of the pituitary gland, in which they look for the growth responsible for the additional hormone production.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Colonoscopies are performed to investigate irregularities found on an X-ray or CT scan, abdominal pain, diarrhea or blood in the stool. They may also be performed regularly for people at risk for polyps or colon cancer.

Joint Replacement
Unfortunately, most types of arthritis are currently incurable – but today’s treatment options can be very effective. Treatment typically involves a combination of anti-inflammatory medication and devices to relieve stress on the joint (canes, crutches or splints). Regular exercise, weight loss for overweight patients, and cortisone injections may also be helpful. In severe cases, orthopedic surgery such as joint replacement may be the only way to improve or restore function and relieve pain.
Orthopedic Surgery
Laparoscopy
The biopsy procedure can be performed in several different ways, but generally takes about 20 minutes and may be performed in your doctor's office or in a hospital. Laparoscopy is often used in a liver biopsy to minimize the incisions needed, while a percutaneous biopsy uses local anesthesia and a needle to take multiple samples. Percutaneous biopsies may also be assisted by imaging techniques to properly guide the needle. A short recovery time of a few hours is needed after a liver biopsy because of the use of anesthesia.

Ulcer
About 80% of ulcers are caused by a bacteria infection known as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). However, it is unknown how H. pylori enters the body. Life factors such as smoking, caffeine, alcohol, stress and extreme use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) can increase the risk of an ulcer.
Eczema
Atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema, is a chronic skin disorder that causes dry, itchy skin and often results in a red rash. It is most common in babies and children, and tends to affect those with a family history of allergies and asthma, although the actual cause is unknown. Atopic dermatitis can affect different areas of the skin, but is most commonly found on the face, neck, arms and legs. It is usually mild and can go away on its own, but may be more severe if it affects a larger area.
Lesions
Ulcers are sores or lesions found on the skin or within the mucous membranes of the body. Most ulcers occur in the gastrointestinal area and are known as peptic ulcers. These ulcers affect almost 5 million people each year. Peptic ulcers are found either in the stomach, known as gastric ulcers, or in the duodenum (part of the intestines), known as duodenal ulcers. Duodenal ulcers are the most common.
