What is primary care?

Primary care is one of the most important disciplines in medicine. You can benefit from primary care at any age. In fact, the earlier in life you get started on primary care, the better. 

Your primary care provider is your main medical contact. Any time you have unusual symptoms or questions about your health, you can call your primary care provider. 

Primary care providers like Dr. Gibson-Borrelli have extensive knowledge about an array of health concerns since they don’t focus solely on one organ or system.

At Horizons Wellness Family Health NP PLLC, Dr. Gibson-Borrelli takes a holistic approach to primary care. She aims to improve your physical, mental, and spiritual health simultaneously and gives you the knowledge to maintain them long-term. 

Throughout your interactions, she gets to know you, your family, your body, and your medical history. With this knowledge, she can provide effective care.
