Our primary care providers strive to establish lifelong relationships with each member of the family. Our primary care providers work to make care convenient for you by diagnosing, treating, and preventing common conditions that affect everyone from infants to seniors.

Preventative care services are a type of specialized care that is meant to keep you healthy and detect any health issues early on, enabling us to provide you with the best treatment as soon as possible.

Some of the preventive health care services we offer include:

Cancer Screening

Many people don’t experience cancer symptoms when the disease is at the earliest and most treatable stage. Cancer screenings are recommended at certain intervals throughout a person’s life for early detection.

Common cancer screenings include pap smears, mammograms, colonoscopies, and many more.

Immunizations

Immunizations for children can include:

• Measles, mumps, and rubella
• Chickenpox
• Hepatitis A and B
• DTap
• Rotavirus

• Meningitis

Immunizations for adults can include:

Annual flu shots are available for adults and children and can help to reduce the risk of contracting the flu by as much as 60%. If a person receives a flu shot and still comes down with the flu, the shot can help to reduce the severity of the flu symptoms.

COVID vaccination recommendations are newer to the medical community. Please check with your health care provider for the latest recommendations in regards to dosing and boosters.

Annual Wellness Visits

At Altaire Clinic, our primary care team provides annual wellness exams for men, women, and children to maintain good health. We offer annual wellness exams to help individuals to maximize their health and identify any issues that could escalate in the future.

Annual wellness visits will help our healthcare team stay on top of your medical needs. An annual physical exam appointment is also an opportunity for patients to discuss their health concerns with their primary healthcare providers and have all of their questions answered.

Chronic Disease Management

At Altaire Clinic we provide care to individuals who suffer from chronic health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and believe through preventative treatment, close monitoring, and management, patients with chronic conditions can look forward to positive health outcomes.

Chronic disease can result in significant complications if it’s not properly managed. Disease management can help a patient to control health issues that could become severe if not monitored and given proper attention. When correctly managed, the care a patient receives can improve their overall health. When a chronic condition is diagnosed, our medical professionals can help a patient develop a comprehensive treatment plan that focuses on improving their health and meeting their wellness goals.

We can provide treatment for the following chronic conditions:

• Asthma
• Depression and Anxiety
• Diabetes
• Hypertension
• High Cholesterol
• COPD

And many other conditions.

Pediatric Care

At Altaire Clinic, we offer well-child checkups and treatment for newborns to teenage patients. We believe that pediatric health comes from early intervention when a child is hurt or sick, preventative medicine, and regular checkups. Our conveniently located clinic provides treatment for minor injuries and ailments, routine exams, health screenings, immunizations, as well as sports physicals.

Weight Management

At our health clinic in Fargo, a patient can find personalized, compassionate care. Our basic health care services for patients also include medically supervised well-rounded weight loss programs that take a natural, comprehensive approach to help you lose weight and keep it off.

Our weight management program utilizes a combination of behavioral lifestyle changes, physical activity, medication assistance, and dietary changes to help a patient lose weight and keep it off.

While most programs mainly focus on calories in and calories out, we understand that there is so much more to losing weight and managing weight loss. Weight can be affected by behavioral, environmental, psychosocial, metabolic, and genetic factors, among others. Because of this, we treat each patient as an individual and do our best to understand each patient’s unique environmental, social, and medical history when creating their comprehensive weight loss plan.

Nutrition Counseling

Nutrition counseling will focus on your nutrition and health goals, good versus bad foods, dieting, and body image. At an initial assessment, we’ll go over all of these topics and more, and discuss how the foods you choose play an important role when it comes to managing your health. We can help you in developing and maintaining your health goals and provide a personalized plan that’s tailored to your lifestyle, based on your goals, diet preferences, busy schedule, and more.

Patients seek nutrition counseling for many reasons, including digestive disorders, celiac disease, weight management, cancer, bariatric surgery, high cholesterol, and more.
