They are an integral part of your wellness team at Primary Care PLLC, and work together closely with Dr. Arakere Prasad. Physician assistants are highly trained and qualified healthcare providers who work under the supervision of Dr. Arakere Prasad. PA’s are trained to take medical histories, conduct exams, diagnose and treat acute/chronic diseases, injuries and conditions, order and interpret tests such as Labs, X-rays and MRI, prescribe medications, and assist the doctor as needed. Our PA’s are trained to recognize when patients need the attention of a supervising doctor or additional specialist as well.
• Sick and Well visits:
  Annual exams primarily focus on preventative care and counseling. In most cases, you will be best served to make a separate sick visit appointment for any new symptoms, so that the proper amount of time can be focused appropriately on your complaints.
