Hello, I’m Janaska, and this is 5 things  I’ve learned PATIENTS REALLY WANT from their primary care:

1.       To talk to the provider directly.

When patients have questions they want to talk to the provider, not the medical assistant, not the receptionist.

2.       Timely scheduling.

Waiting months for a visit is difficult and can lead to further complications.

3.       To not feel rushed during visits.

We all need longer visits and more face to face time with our primary care, 15 minutes is just not enough to be heard.

4.      To have visits with the same provider you trust.

Seeing different providers for every visit can make building a trusting relationship hard.

Why Primary Care?

Primary care requires a dedication and a joy of relationship building that brings meaning to me. I don't want patients to feel like another number moving through a revolving door, and I want to be there as a resource during the important health related decisions. Yes, I am one of those people who has trouble sleeping if I don't know the outcome of my recommendations, which is why urgent care or other specialties don’t appeal to me. Consistency, connection and meaning are all a part of my drive to be a primary care provider. I want a phone call when something is wrong at the pharmacy, I want you to talk about  going to your grandchild’s wedding during our visit and if you're going to dance. We all have to find our calling. My calling is to help others and to be the bridge between science and compassion.
