Why choose UCSF Health Medical Foundation for primary care?

Your primary care provider (PCP) is your partner in long-term health. They’re the person who knows your history, helps you stay well, and coordinates your care when you need more. Our adult primary care physicians care for adults at every stage of life, from young adulthood through the senior years.

Comprehensive care in one place

• Preventive care: Annual physicals, screenings, immunizations, and guidance on nutrition, sleep, and healthy habits
• Sick care: Prompt attention for illnesses and minor injuries, such as colds, flu, infections, rashes, and sprains
• Chronic condition management: Ongoing support for conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, and depression or anxiety
• Coordinated specialty care: When you need a specialist, your PCP connects you with UCSF Health’s network of experts and stays involved in your care

Our primary care services

From routine checkups to managing ongoing health conditions, our primary care team is here for every part of your health. Our physicians and care team work together to keep you healthy, catch concerns early, and help you feel your best.

Annual wellness exams
A yearly checkup is one of the best ways to stay healthy. At your visit, we review your health history and medications, check your vital signs, order lab tests as needed, and discuss any concerns. It’s also a chance to set health goals together and plan your preventive care for the year ahead.

Preventive screenings
Screenings can find health problems early when they’re easier to treat. Based on your age, health history, and risk factors, we recommend and coordinate screenings such as:

• Blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes
• Colorectal, breast, cervical, and lung cancer
• Depression and anxiety
• Bone density

Immunizations
Vaccines protect you and the people around you. We offer flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, and other recommended immunizations for adults, including tetanus, shingles, pneumonia, and hepatitis vaccines. We’ll also help you stay up to date on travel vaccines.

Care for illness and injury
When you’re not feeling well, we’ll see you quickly, often the same day. We treat common illnesses and minor injuries, including colds, flu, sinus and ear infections, urinary tract infections, rashes, and sprains, so you can get back to your life.

Chronic condition management
Living with a long-term condition is easier with a team behind you. We partner with you to manage conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, thyroid disorders, and depression. We do this through regular check-ins, medication management, and practical guidance on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle.

Care coordination and specialist referrals
If you need specialty care, your primary care provider connects you with experts across UCSF Health and stays involved. That way your care stays coordinated, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Health education and guidance
We take time to answer your questions, share trusted, research-based information, and help you understand your options, so you can make confident decisions about your health.
