    Choose a Primary Care Provider

    Finding the right primary care provider is the first step as a new patient. Having a primary care provider in Eau Claire allows you to establish a trusting relationship with one person who gets to know you and your medical history, and provides continuity of care for you and your family.

    A primary care provider:

    • Is available to evaluate and treat day-to-day health problems
    • Advises you on preventive screenings at different stages throughout your life
    • Follows up with you to explain test results and judge how well your treatment is working
    • Refers you to qualified specialists when needed
    • Maintains the big picture of your overall health and treatment needs

    Your primary care provider can be a:

    • Nurse practitioner
    • Physician
    • Physician assistant

    Primary care includes three specialties in the these Wisconsin locations:

    • Family Medicine — Barron, Bloomer, Chetek, Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, Elmwood, Glenwood City, Menomonie, Mondovi, Osseo and Rice Lake.
    • Internal Medicine — Barron, Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, Menomonie and Rice Lake
    • Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine — Barron, Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, Menomonie and Rice Lake

    You may wish to consider these criteria as part of your selection process:

    • Age (yourself or your preferred provider)
    • Gender (yourself or your preferred provider)
    • Clinic or office location
    • Specialty (family medicine, internal medicine, a physician who specializes in care for women, etc.)
    • Existing medical conditions (matching the interests or expertise of the provider)
