Our health is precious, and becoming ill or struggling with a physical ailment can be severely debilitating. Nobody wants to get sick and if we could, we would all live without the risk of ever losing our physical wellbeing. While perfect health is never guaranteed for anyone, there are a few ways to maintain the good health you do have and even improve your health status in many ways. By the time most people type, “doctor near me” online seeking a GP, they already have difficult symptoms in need of managing. Here at Intercare, however, it is our mission to empower our valued patients to care for themselves before they get ill, possibly preventing any complications down the line.
Patients seeking curative or preventative help approach us with questions on where they can find their nearest suitable doctor and what type of medical professional might best be able to help them. If you have similar questions, then have a look below where we answer these common queries.
“Which Medical Professional is Right for Me?”
Nobody wants to waste time going from one physician to another seeking the right help, so many patients are often concerned about whether or not to see a doctor or specialist. While a specialist is always recommended when a more in-depth insight into our wellness is needed, a general practitioner is usually a great place to start. Your doctor will be able to give you a thorough physical examination and assess what potential further steps to take. This could also mean a referral to the right, trusted specialist who will aid in your diagnosis and treatment.
“Where Can I Find a Doctor Near Me?”
Because we at Intercare have so many medical centres across South Africa, many patients would like to know where to find a nearby doctor. When typing “doctor near me” into an online search engine, you may receive results of doctors physically closest to you, but there is no guarantee that you will receive quality medical care from them. There are currently 25 Intercare medical centres across the provinces of Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Kwazulu-Natal, and the Western Cape – so finding a doctor near you in these regions is no problem at all. The best part is that with us, you need never doubt you will receive only the best care.
“Where Can I Find a Dentist Near Me?”
Intercare strives to become your one-stop health hub, which means no matter your medical needs, we can help. It is for this very reason that so many of our medical centres have built-in dental clinics featuring fully fledged departments as well as experienced dentists and oral hygienists. Instead of searching “dentists near me” online, all you need to do is utilise our specialist locator tool, which allows you to select your location and choose from a list of dental professionals, and then easily book an appointment with them online.
“What Services Are Available at Intercare?”
We at the Intercare Group place special focus on integrity, innovation, compassionate care, and putting each patient first. Our medical centres thus aim to include an extensive variety of services that meet the needs of our patients, whatever they may be. Primary care and wellness centres, dental clinics, dedicated units for sub-acute care, ambulatory day surgery centres, specialised facilities, and a number of specialists are all part of the Intercare family. When you join this family, you become privy to the accessibility, convenience, and affordability of all we have to offer. Whether receiving treatment the Intercare Medfem Hospital or visiting our Travel Clinic, you will find that across the board, we are dedicated to bringing you the best medical care possible.
“What About Screening Services and Vaccinations?”
Regular screenings are part of essential preventative care for anyone who is keen on keeping their health in good order. Part of our routine care here at Intercare is to ensure patients receive vital health screenings for cancer, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and asthma. We also provide children and adults with routine and travel vaccinations as required.
If you often seek out “near me” options online when it comes to finding a medical expert, why not look into our online tool which makes locating a quality professional a breeze? Booking is quick and easy, and you won’t find affordable, world-class care quite like ours anywhere else.
