Care That Looks at the Whole Person.
Primary care is more than treating symptoms when you are sick. It is an ongoing partnership focused on helping you stay well, identify health concerns early, manage existing conditions, and make informed decisions about your care.
At ABF, we take time to understand the complete picture of your health. We listen carefully, explain your options clearly, and develop recommendations that reflect your individual needs.
Our goal is to help you:
Primary Care Services.
Routine Checkups and Wellness Visits
Regular medical visits create an opportunity to review your overall health, identify potential risks, discuss concerns, and create a personalized plan for the year ahead.
- Annual physical examinations
- General health assessments
- Review of personal and family medical history
- Medication review
- Age-appropriate preventive recommendations
- Lifestyle and wellness counseling
- Laboratory testing when clinically appropriate
Preventive Health Screenings
Many health conditions develop without obvious symptoms. Preventive screenings can help identify concerns earlier, when they may be easier to manage. Your provider may recommend screenings related to:
- Blood pressure & Cholesterol
- Diabetes & Heart-health risks
- Certain cancers & Bone health
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Mental and emotional well-being
Screening recommendations are individualized. Your provider will explain which evaluations may be appropriate for you and why.
Chronic Condition Management
Living with a chronic condition often requires ongoing monitoring, medication management, education, and coordination. ABF provides continued support for patients managing conditions such as:
- High blood pressure & Type 2 diabetes
- High cholesterol & Asthma
- Thyroid-related concerns
- Obesity and weight-related health risks
- Arthritis and recurring pain concerns
Sick Visits and New Health Concerns
When something does not feel right, you deserve a place where your concerns will be taken seriously. Our clinical team evaluates non-emergency symptoms including:
- Cold and flu-like symptoms
- Cough, congestion, and sore throat
- Minor infections & Headaches
- Digestive concerns & Fatigue
- Rashes, skin concerns, and minor injuries
This service is not a substitute for emergency care. Call 911 or visit the nearest emergency department for severe emergencies.
Medication Management
Medications can be an important part of your treatment plan, but they should be reviewed regularly for safety, effectiveness, side effects, interactions, and continued medical necessity.
- Reviewing current prescriptions
- Discussing side effects or new symptoms
- Evaluating whether treatment is working
- Identifying possible interactions
- Coordinating refills and follow-up care
Laboratory Testing & Referrals
Laboratory testing can provide valuable information before noticeable symptoms appear. As your primary-care partner, ABF can also help coordinate the next steps in your care when specialized evaluation is needed.
- Blood sugar, cholesterol, and thyroid testing
- Vitamin, nutrient, and metabolic panels
- Referrals to specialists
- Reviewing outside medical records
- Support continuity between different areas of care
Controlled-Substance Prescribing Requirements
A Brighter Future Healthcare Services follows additional safety and monitoring procedures when prescribing certain controlled medications. Depending on the medication and treatment plan, patients may be required to complete toxicology testing and sign a Controlled-Substance Treatment Agreement before a prescription is issued, renewed, or continued. These requirements support safe prescribing, help the clinical team evaluate medication use, and establish clear expectations for treatment, refills, follow-up appointments, and medication monitoring.
Patients Receiving Certain Controlled Medications May Be Required To:
- Provide a urine specimen or complete an oral-fluid mouth swab
- Complete testing before receiving or continuing a prescription
- Participate in random or scheduled medication-compliance testing
- Sign the ABF Controlled-Substance Treatment Agreement
- Take medication only as prescribed
- Attend required follow-up appointments
- Use the pharmacy arrangement approved by the treating provider
- Follow ABF's refill and medication-change procedures
- Notify ABF about controlled medications prescribed by another healthcare professional
- Discuss other prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, supplements, alcohol use, or substance use that could affect treatment safety
Signing the agreement does not guarantee that a controlled medication will be prescribed. Prescribing decisions remain subject to clinical evaluation, safety considerations, applicable law, medication history, testing results, and the judgment of the treating healthcare provider.
Why Is an Agreement Required?
Controlled medications can carry risks that may include dependence, overdose, breathing problems, sedation, impaired judgment, medication interactions, tolerance, and reduced effectiveness. The agreement helps the patient and provider document important treatment expectations, including how the medication must be taken, when refills may be requested, whether early replacements are permitted, where prescriptions should be filled, when follow-up appointments are required, when toxicology testing may be requested, and what may happen if treatment requirements are not followed.
Prescription and Refill Expectations
Controlled-medication refills are not automatic. Patients must follow the treatment schedule and refill procedures provided by the prescribing clinician. Patients must take the medication only as prescribed and must not change the amount or frequency without authorization. Unauthorized changes may cause the medication to run out early, and early refills or replacement prescriptions for lost or stolen medication may not be permitted.
- Request refills before the medication runs out
- Submit refill requests during regular office hours
- Do not increase, decrease, stop, or share medication without provider instructions
- Do not assume that a refill will be approved solely because a request was submitted
- Keep all required follow-up appointments
- Complete requested testing before the prescription deadline
- Tell ABF if another provider prescribes a controlled medication
Failure to complete required testing, sign the agreement, attend appointments, or follow the treatment plan may delay or prevent a controlled-medication prescription or refill.
Medication-Compliance Testing
Patients prescribed certain controlled medications may be asked to provide a urine sample or complete an oral-fluid mouth swab. Testing may be required before treatment begins, before a prescription or refill is issued, during a scheduled office visit, at a random point during treatment, when the provider needs additional information to evaluate medication safety or adherence, or after a result that requires confirmation or follow-up.
Agreement Required for Certain Controlled Medications
Before ABF prescribes or continues certain controlled medications, the patient may be required to review and sign the ABF Controlled-Substance Treatment Agreement. The agreement explains medication risks, safe-use expectations, refill procedures, pharmacy requirements, required appointments, toxicology testing, and possible consequences when treatment requirements are not followed.

Care Through Life’s Changing Seasons
Health needs change over time. ABF provides ongoing primary-care support for individuals and families through different ages, health conditions, and life transitions.
Depending on provider availability, clinical appropriateness, and the needs of the patient, care may include services for adults, older adults, adolescents, children, individuals managing multiple medical conditions, and patients establishing care after relocating.
Medical and Behavioral Health Under One Roof
Physical health and emotional health are closely connected. Stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, substance use, grief, and major life transitions can affect overall quality of life.
Because ABF offers both medical care and mental-health services, patients may have access to a more coordinated approach when needs overlap.
Explore Mental Health ServicesSupport for Healthy Weight & Metabolic Wellness
Weight can be influenced by many factors, including genetics, hormones, metabolism, medications, sleep, stress, nutrition, and underlying health conditions.
During a primary-care visit, your provider can evaluate potential health risks and determine whether additional medical weight-management support may be appropriate.
Explore Medical Weight LossConvenient Care From a Private Location
Some medical concerns and follow-up visits may be appropriate for telehealth. A secure virtual appointment may allow you to speak with a healthcare professional without traveling to the office.
