Primora Primary Care offers the following preventive care options and more:

Annual physical exams and wellness visits

If you need a physical exam for work, sports, or school, or you’re due for an annual wellness visit, rely on Primora Primary Care for all your preventive care needs. Dr. Kommalapti screens for signs of potential health problems before they cause serious medical concerns. Schedule a visit at least once yearly to maximize physical and mental health outcomes. 

Health screenings

Health screenings can detect high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, asthma, allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), thyroid conditions, cancer, and other common concerns. Dr. Kommalapti screens for many of these problems using lab testing, imaging procedures, biopsies, or heart and lung function testing. 

Immunizations and vaccination management

Receiving appropriate vaccines based on your health and risk factors is an excellent way to avoid contracting illnesses and certain diseases. Dr. Kommalapti can help you manage a personalized vaccination schedule to stay as healthy as possible. 

Lifestyle and nutritional counseling

Lifestyle and nutritional counseling is an excellent way to significantly lessen your risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic diseases.
