Primary Care Associates

YOUR PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR

The physicians of Primary Care Associates take pride in developing trusting relationships with patients and their families. These relationships, which extend for generations, can be vital in diagnosing health problems because the physicians are aware of family health histories.

The seven-member group is comprised of primary care doctors specializing in family practice, internal medicine and pediatrics. The practice also offers cosmetic treatments such as laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation and spider vein removal.

Primary Care Associates is located in the DiCuccio Medical Building, adjacent to Butler Health System Outpatient Services, which makes access to diagnostic testing such as lab and x-ray extremely convenient.

Comprehensive, accessible care is a hallmark of Primary Care Associates. The doctors offer continuous care for a patient or family of patients at any age. To make an appointment with one of the Primary Care Associates physicians, please call their individual phone numbers listed on the left of this page.
