A primary care physician is more than just a doctor. Wouldn’t it be nice if your doctor knew you as well as some of your closest family and friends? Over time, your doctor learns the nuances of your medical history, your reaction to medications, your personality, your lifestyle, and your treatment preferences. Your primary care doctor is going to be a problem-solver and an important advocate for your health.

A stroke is a medical emergency because brain cells begin to die within minutes. Part of our preventive, personalized care model at Spry includes assessing your personal risk factors for stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.

We call it the silent killer because most people do not experience any symptoms of high blood pressure. While there is no cure, taking medications as prescribed and making lifestyle changes can enhance your quality of life.
