What is a Primary Care Provider?
A primary care provider (PCP) is your main healthcare provider in non-emergency situations. Your PCP's role is to provide you with comprehensive, preventative care, identify and treat your common medical conditions, assess the urgency of your medical problems and direct you to the best place for care, and refer you to specialists when necessary. At Nova, your PCP can be a Family Physician, an Internist, a Family Nurse Practitioner, or a Pediatrician.
Family Physicians – Nova is currently home to seven family physicians. These doctors have completed a family practice residency and are board certified, or board eligible, for this specialty. The scope of their practice includes children and adults of all ages and may include obstetrics and minor surgery.
Pediatricians – Pediatricians are doctors who have completed a pediatric residency and are board certified, or board eligible, in this specialty. The scope of their practice includes the care of newborns, infants, children, and adolescents. Nova is currently home to two Board Certified Pediatricians who practice in our Ashburn and Leesburg facilities.
Internists – Internists are doctors who have completed a residency in internal medicine and are board certified, or board eligible, in this specialty. The scope of their practice includes the care of adults of all ages for a variety of medical problems. Nova is home to four Board Certified Internists.
Nurse Practitioners (NP) – What exactly is a nurse practitioner? Nurse practitioners go through a different training and certification process than doctors. A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse (RN) who has completed advanced education (a minimum of a master's degree) and training in the diagnosis and management of common medical conditions, including chronic illnesses. Nurse practitioners provide a broad range of health care services and treat patients of all ages. They provide some of the same care provided by physicians and maintain close working relationships with physicians. A NP can serve as a patient's regular health care provider, and Nova is home to 10 Family Nurse Practitioners who can serve as your PCP.
