Primary Care
Comprehensive Care For Your Everyday Health Needs
Dr. Osorio has been a Board Certified Internist for over 25 years. At RWJBarnabas Renaissance Primary Care we provide day-to-day healthcare, commonly known as “primary care” services. Typically a primary care provider acts as the first contact and principal point of continuing care for patients within a healthcare system and coordinates other specialist care that the patient may need. They are accountable for addressing a large majority of personal health care needs, developing a sustained partnership with patients, and practicing in the context of family and community. This is what Dr. Osorio is all about.
Caring for the “Whole Person”
Most of us know that primary care doctors treat aches, pains, and colds. But these are just a few of the areas primary care doctors treat within a broader field of expertise. Primary care doctors also:
- Care for most diseases except very uncommon or unusual ones
- Offer counseling
- Monitor your health against your lifestyle goals over time.
They also educate patients about preventing chronic diseases, like limiting sugar if you have prediabetes or increasing your physical activity if you’re at higher risk for heart disease. We at RWJBarnabas Renaissance Primary Care look forward to becoming your primary care provider in the Ironbound!
