Welcome to MedStar Health Primary Care at Lafayette Centre

Building a relationship with a primary care provider is a great first step to a healthy life. Our MedStar Health physicians have been treating patients from their 19th Street practice for years. Now at MedStar Health Primary Care at Lafayette Centre, we are pleased to offer the same great care to this community. With on-site access to MedStar Health’s expert specialists, as well as laboratory and imaging services, we are able to provide you comprehensive, seamless care.

Our primary care specialists include both internal medicine and family medicine providers, and we offer an extensive range of services for adults, children, and infants. While our family medicine providers care for patients of all ages, our internal medicine providers primarily care for patients age 18 or older, as well as adolescents.

Telehealth option

Enhanced telehealth offerings

Your health is our priority. That’s why we’ve introduced a new telehealth service for patients of this practice. We have a team of nurse practitioners and care managers who provide rapid, convenient access to care and who can help monitor certain health conditions using new technologies. These providers practice in a telehealth hub and are connected to your care team. They are an extended part of this practice and are here to meet your acute health care needs. When you make an appointment, you may be connected to this telehealth primary care team in collaboration with your primary care provider.

We also offer a remote patient monitoring hypertension program through our connected primary care team. According to the World Health Organization, hypertension (high blood pressure) significantly increases risk for heart, brain, kidney, and other disease and is the leading cause of premature death worldwide. Less than half of adults with hypertension are diagnosed and treated and only 20% of those diagnosed have controlled hypertension. Our program provides a care manager and team of clinicians at the ready to help you take control of your blood pressure and minimize the risk of future heart, stroke, or kidney disease due to uncontrolled hypertension. You will receive urgent lab/diagnostic result follow-up and automated prescription refills, which gets routine prescription refills processed within average of four hours and out to the pharmacy to be filled…resulting in medication in your hands quicker.
