What is a Primary Care Provider?

Avita MD provides primary care for adults at our clinics in Los Gatos, Los Altos, and Mountain View. We offer same-day and next-day appointments, on-site lab work during your visit, and accept most major PPO plans, Medicare, and HMO insurance. Call (408) 495-5770 or book online at avitamd.com.

A primary care provider is the doctor or provider who oversees your day-to-day health, preventive care, chronic condition management, and referrals when you need more specialized treatment. At Avita MD, primary care is built around individualized care, direct communication, and long-term wellness.

Finding the right primary care physician in Los Gatos, Los Altos, or Mountain View should feel like a step toward clarity, not another layer of confusion. You want a medical team that listens, explains what matters, and helps you stay ahead of health concerns before they become harder to manage.

That is the role Avita MD is built to fill.

Our practice provides primary care, internal medicine, and a broader model of medical care for adults who want more than rushed visits and generic advice. We care for patients who need an annual exam, help managing high blood pressure or high cholesterol, support for mental health concerns, treatment for new symptoms, and guidance through a fragmented healthcare system. We also coordinate referrals, monitor labs, manage prescriptions, and create a plan that fits your life.

At Avita MD, the goal is not to move you through the office as quickly as possible. The goal is to understand your health, protect your time, and build a real medical home in Los Gatos, Los Altos, or Mountain View.

A Better Standard for Primary Care

Many patients come to us after years of disconnected health care. They have seen different doctors in different offices, repeated the same history at every appointment, and left with more questions than answers. That is not the experience we want for our patients.

We believe good primary care starts with seeing the whole picture. At Avita MD, that means looking at your full context: your history, your lifestyle, and your risk factors. It’s how we ensure you get the right care, whether it's for a routine preventive check-up or ongoing management of a chronic condition.

Having a primary care physician you trust makes everything easier. When something changes, you have one place to call, one team that knows your entire history, and one trusted source to help you figure out the next step.

In your 30s and 40s, you may feel generally healthy, but this is often when subtle shifts begin to show up. Rising blood pressure, cholesterol changes, stress, sleep issues, fatigue, and weight gain start affecting the body in ways that need attention. These changes might not seem dramatic now, but catching them early is how we protect your long-term wellness.

Physician-Led Care With More Depth

Avita MD combines the warmth of a neighborhood clinic with the structure and depth patients often expect from a larger medical center. Our physician-led model is anchored by Dr. Patricia Sitnitsky, a Stanford-trained doctor with dual board certification in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. Her training and leadership support the practice’s standard of thoughtful, evidence-based care.

Patients are cared for by a collaborative team that includes experienced providers and physician assistants, allowing our office to offer more support, more continuity, and more access without sacrificing quality. The people behind our team are highly qualified and focused on the same mission: advocate for the patient, simplify the system, and deliver more useful care.

We also use advanced medical technology and modern diagnostics where appropriate, because good medicine depends on better information. That may include routine preventive labs, expanded metabolic testing, heart screening, hormone review, or other evaluations based on your symptoms, history, and goals.

What a Primary Care Provider Helps Manage

A primary care provider is usually the first doctor you see for both prevention and everyday medical issues. At Avita MD, that includes:

  • Annual physicals and preventive medicine
  • Routine preventive care
  • Monitoring high blood pressure
  • Treatment planning for high cholesterol
  • Diabetes screening and support for patients managing diabetes
  • Medication review and prescriptions
  • Care for acute illness and common symptoms
  • Follow-up after urgent care or emergency room visits
  • Screening and support related to women’s health
  • Review of stress, sleep, fatigue, and other quality-of-life concerns
  • Guidance on specialist referrals
  • Support for long-term management of chronic conditions

Some patients come in for a straightforward exam. Others need a doctor who can help connect the dots between multiple symptoms, a busy schedule, and a family history that raises the stakes. Both belong in primary care.

Preventive Care That Does More Than Check a Box

At Avita MD, prevention is not an afterthought. It is one of the most important parts of the work.

Preventive care helps establish your baseline, track changes over time, and catch problems earlier. That may mean reviewing blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid markers, weight trends, and age-appropriate screenings. It may also mean discussing exercise, sleep, nutrition, alcohol use, stress, and family history in a way that feels practical rather than scripted. At our Los Gatos, Los Altos, and Mountain View clinics, we have on-site phlebotomy and EKG, so your labs and exam happen in a single visit.

This is where individualized care matters. Two patients of the same age may need very different screening schedules, testing, or treatment plans based on their risk factors and health history.

We do not believe preventive medicine should be generic. We believe it should help you protect your future health with better information and a clearer plan.

Care for Ongoing and Chronic Conditions

Primary care also plays a central role in treating and monitoring long-term medical needs. If you are living with chronic conditions, continuity matters. Small changes in lab work, symptoms, or medication response are easier to manage when your care happens within one consistent system.

Our team helps patients manage a wide range of concerns, including:

  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Diabetes
  • Thyroid imbalance
  • Weight-related health concerns
  • Ongoing fatigue
  • Digestive symptoms
  • Sleep disruption
  • Stress-related symptoms
  • Preventive cardiovascular risk

Sometimes the next step is simple. Sometimes it requires a broader evaluation, more testing, or a specialist referral. Either way, we stay involved.

That is part of the Avita MD model. We guide care. We do not just hand off a name and send you on your way.

Support for Mental Health and Whole-Person Care

Good healthcare includes the mind as well as the body.

Many adults come to primary care with symptoms that overlap across both. Poor sleep, low energy, changes in focus, irritability, and physical tension may reflect stress, burnout, or other mental health concerns. They may also point to hormonal, thyroid, metabolic, or other medical issues. It takes a careful provider to sort through that thoughtfully.

At Avita MD, we make room for those conversations. We look at the full context, assess what may be contributing, and determine whether the right next step is lab work, medication, lifestyle support, follow-up visits, or referral to a specialist.

More Access. More Communication. Less Friction.

Patients want care that feels responsive. They want to be able to reach the office, get answers, and understand the plan.

Avita MD was built around that expectation. Our practice emphasizes direct communication, coordinated follow-through, and a more personal level of support. We work to make access easier, from scheduling to labs to specialist coordination. We also support patients through insurance questions, prior authorizations, and practical next steps when treatment extends beyond the exam room.

For many people, that level of support is what separates a good provider from a frustrating one.

Insurance, Coverage, and Cost

We know that health insurance, coverage, and cost shape healthcare decisions. Patients want quality care, but they also want transparency.

Avita MD accepts most major PPO, Medicare, and HMO insurance plans. For many preventive visits, benefits may cover part or all of the service depending on your plan. Coverage can change when a visit includes evaluation of new symptoms, treatment of a specific illness, additional labs, or ongoing management of chronic conditions.

Our office helps patients understand what may fall under preventive coverage and what may be billed differently. That kind of guidance matters. The healthcare system is already hard enough to manage.

A Practice Designed for Real Life

Your doctor should be able to treat everyday concerns and help you think ahead.

That might mean a routine annual exam. It might mean support for women’s health, follow-up for health conditions, treatment after a recent illness, help managing prescriptions, or a plan for healthier blood pressure and cholesterol over time. It may also include advanced diagnostic testing such as DUTCH hormone panels, Genova digestive assessments, US BioTek food sensitivity mapping, and 3x4 genetic testing to uncover root causes of fatigue, inflammation, and metabolic concerns. These tools allow us to go beyond standard screening and build a personalized roadmap for prevention and long-term health.

At Avita MD, we focus on what helps patients stay functional, informed, and supported. That is what good medicine looks like in daily life.
