This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of OptumCare. The opinions and text are all mine.

It’s been so easy for me to set aside my own healthcare needs especially the last couple of months with how busy my life has been with the holidays and my kids. I have always been so on top of taking my kids to their own doctor appointments and unless I am pregnant I am awful at seeing a primary health care provider myself.

I’ve always felt like it was a hassle to find someone I trust or an office environment that makes me feel comfortable enough to keep going back.

Recently, I visited my local OptumCare^® Primary Care and was pleasantly surprised with how easy going and friendly the staff was! OptumCare^® Primary Care Clinics in the Phoenix area provide a care setting where the patient is at the center of care. It’s “Health Care built around you”. Their care teams know to keep patients at the center of care making sure they get the right care at the right time in the right setting.

What I felt was a brilliant concept was how, OptumCare^® believes in the “Lean” method which cuts out anything that isn’t necessary. The first thing I noticed when I walked towards the exam room was how clean and organized the rooms and hallways looked. It gave me a sense of peace knowing I didn’t have to walk past a bunch of unnecessary rooms or equipment which can often be a little unsettling especially with my toddler in tow!

OptumCare^® also offers on-site lab, x-rays, and a bone density scanner which makes getting the results you need a lot more efficient than your traditional primary care office.  With a wide range of services including:

Primary Care

• Preventive services
• Care for chronic conditions
• Health care screenings
• Care for common illness

Special and Surgical Care

Depending on your location, they offer a wide selection of specialty services so it’s always convenient and cuts out having to travel between different locations. If surgery is needed, OptumCare^® partners with many surgical centers and hospitals near you to ensure you get the care you need without any hassle.

• Allergy
• Cardiology
• Audiology
• Gastroenterology
• Hematology
• Podiatry
• Radiology

and much more which can be found here!

It is reassuring to know the staff and doctors work together to provide the best care and stand by three objectives: Integrity, Compassion and Relationships. With such great variety of healthcare services I really feel confident and comfortable about coming here and bringing my family.

OptumCare^® not only focuses on creating the best environment for their patients but they also take it a step further by creating an environment where physicians and staff aren’t distracted with anything other than the patients and dedicate all their time and efforts into their passions which are taking care of us!

Choosing a primary healthcare provider is a really big decision and you want to make sure the staff and physicians not only see you, but care about you and your family. OptumCare^® really helped with the processing and made our visit stress-free and welcoming not intimidating. We left feeling cared about and eager to recommend this office and thier physicians to our families!
