Psychiatric conditions are also treated as part of adult medicine here at Surfside Primary Care medicine. But as with any conditions there can be complications that require an experienced healthcare professional to know when to refer out to an appropriate specialist.

Here at Surfside Primary Care Medicine we work with local specialists in all fields of medicine.

Being overweight and smoking are well know to negatively impact your health and result in many chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Treating these aspects are an important part of total health and wellness.

Adult medicine provided in a primary care setting deals with the complex interactions of multiple disease states and how they effect the mind, body, and spirt.

Whereas, a specialist deals specifically with one organ system, such as a Cardiologist treating the heart, and may not be as experienced in other fields such as dermatology. 

A primary care provider manages multiple organ systems at the same time and refers to a specialist when a condition requires a focused expertise.
