Primary Care

From birth through your senior years, your primary care physician is your partner in health for life.
Primary care physicians are doctors who monitor your overall health and are trained in every major area of medicine. Loyola’s board-certified primary care physicians provide annual physical exams, recommendations for disease prevention, diagnosis of illness, referrals to specialists and patient education.
With more than 20 primary care clinics throughout the Chicago area, our physicians and advanced practice nurses provide expert care for the entire family.
