Over the past two years, you’ve seen an urgent care for bronchitis, a clinic in Tysons for your blood pressure refills and a third doctor for your physical, and you’ve told each one the same history. You’d like one provider who already knows it, so you’re looking for the best family medicine doctor in Fairfax, VA. Here’s how Dr. Connie Le handles physicals, sick visits and refills at Annandale Primary Care.
How Does a Family Medicine Practice Handle Refills and Medication Reviews?
At your physical, our physical exam page notes, your doctor reviews your past medical history, including your medications and previous surgeries. So, bring every bottle, including the ones from the clinic in Tysons, and you and Dr. Le will go through them one by one. In the event you need a refill between visits, our telemedicine post on prescription refills explains when a virtual visit works.
When Would My Family Doctor Refer Me to a Specialist?
According to Healthline, a primary care physician refers you to specialists when needed and coordinates care across providers. Subsequently, in the event your heart or kidneys need a closer look, Dr. Le will tell you at the visit and send the referral, and she lists cardiovascular and kidney diseases among her special interests. Our team also manages diabetes, asthma and high cholesterol here.
Dr. Le has over 25 years of clinical experience, and Northern Virginia Magazine has recognized her as a Top Doctor. Your chart follows you between our Fairfax office on Old Lee Highway and our Annandale office on Evergreen Lane.
