What does a primary care doctor do?

Your primary care doctor is the first person you contact with any new health issues. Dr. Leng acts as a front-line provider to offer a basic diagnosis and treatment for common conditions. If you have a more complex issue, Dr. Leng has a network of specialists in the community to whom he can recommend you.

Primary care also entails regular check-ups, immunizations, health screenings, and chronic disease management. Dr. Leng wants to help you prevent disease by recommending you for out-of-office screenings, such as mammograms and colonoscopies. He also provides thorough recommendations for healthy living, such as dietary guidance and smoking cessation.

When should I make a same-day appointment?

  • Severe cold or flu symptoms

  • Cuts and sprains
  • Stomach pain or digestive distress

If you’re having symptoms that aren’t an emergency, but can’t wait for diagnosis, call Family Medicine Clinic. The office has a medical doctor on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
