Primary Care Q & A
What is primary care?
Primary care should be your first point of contact for most of your health care needs. At Wilmington Adult Medicine, Dr. Liederbach provides comprehensive services to help you protect and improve your health, including:
Physicals
Routine physicals allow you and Dr. Liederbach to check in on your health. In addition to monitoring your vital signs and performing a standard health check, these visits allow you to raise any concerns you have about your health.
Dr. Liederbach takes time to listen to your needs and provides highly personalized advice and treatments to enhance your health.
Health screenings
Dr. Liederbach provides health screenings to identify health problems in their early stages when they’re most treatable. From complete blood panels including cholesterol and blood sugars as well as other selected tests based on your condition(s) to EKGs, he offers the testing necessary to monitor your health.
Vaccines
Vaccines are a critical part of preventive health care. While most vaccines are given to children, you need booster shots for some immunizations as adults.
Additionally, there are specific protective vaccines such as those against pneumonia and shingles which are recommended for older patients and select younger patients. It’s also recommended you get an annual flu shot to protect your health during cold and flu season.
Sick visits
Dr. Liederbach also offers sick visits to diagnose and treat the various illnesses that can strike without warning. If you’re feeling under the weather and want compassionate and expert medical care, you can count on Dr. Liederbach.
Why is primary care important?

Dr. Liederbach can diagnose health problems early and provide treatment to restore your health before your life is disrupted. He also coordinates all of your health care, providing referrals to specialists when needed and ensuring you receive effective health care services.
How often should I see my primary care provider?
