NuThera's primary care program is for adults who want their physician to actually know them. We take the time to understand your history, goals, and risk factors, then build a preventive and management plan that fits your life.
Yes — NuThera offers adult primary care in Las Vegas with 45–60 minute initial visits, accepting Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and most major commercial insurance plans. We focus on long-term prevention, chronic condition management (hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, thyroid), and the kind of unhurried visits that 10-minute corporate clinics don't allow time for. Two Las Vegas locations, same-week appointments.
Primary care is the entry point of the medical system for adults — the physician relationship that handles prevention, screenings, chronic disease management, and acute illness. Your primary care provider is the clinician who knows your history, coordinates specialist referrals, and serves as your first call when you don't know what kind of doctor to see.
At NuThera, primary care starts with a comprehensive 45–60 minute initial visit covering medical history, family history, current medications, lifestyle, and risk factors. From there we build an individualized prevention plan — vaccinations, screenings, lab work — and ongoing management for any chronic conditions. Follow-ups are 20–30 minutes (not 10), with continuity of care from one visit to the next.
Every primary care patient receives the following as part of their care at NuThera.
Not sure if this fits? Call us at (725) 726-7914 — we'll help you figure it out.
Specific criteria help you (and us) know quickly whether this service fits your situation.
Here's what each step looks like — from your first call to ongoing care. We'll always tell you in advance what's coming next.
Bring photo ID, insurance card, current medication list, and any prior records. We review your full medical history, family history, lifestyle, and goals — not just your chief complaint.
Age- and risk-appropriate labs (CBC, metabolic panel, lipid panel, A1c, thyroid, vitamin D as indicated). Most are drawn at our office; results return within 2–3 business days.
Vaccinations, screening referrals (colonoscopy, mammogram, bone density), and any lifestyle interventions are mapped out for the next 12 months. You leave with a written summary.
Chronic conditions are monitored on a schedule that fits the condition — quarterly for diabetes, semi-annually for stable hypertension, etc. Same-week sick visits available; medication refills via portal or phone.
NuThera accepts Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and most major commercial insurance plans (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and others). Copays vary by plan; preventive visits are typically covered at 100% under ACA-compliant plans. We verify your specific benefits before your first visit.
Primary care is your longitudinal relationship — your physician knows your history, manages chronic conditions, and runs preventive care. Urgent care treats acute, episodic problems (UTI, sore throat, minor injury) when you can't get into your primary's office. Use urgent care for one-off acute issues; use primary care for everything else, especially anything related to ongoing health.
Concierge practices charge an annual membership fee ($1,500–$5,000+) for direct physician access and longer visits. NuThera offers most of the same time-per-visit benefit (45–60 min initial, 20–30 min follow-up) without the membership fee — we work within your insurance and just structure our schedule to allow real time per patient.
Hospital-owned primary care groups typically run on 10–15 minute visit slots driven by RVU productivity targets. NuThera is independent and physician-led — visit length is set by clinical need, not throughput targets. Continuity is higher because we're not rotating providers as frequently as larger systems do.
Yes, we accept Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans, plus most major commercial insurance. Our billing team verifies benefits before your first visit so there are no surprises.
Initial visits are 45–60 minutes so we have time to understand your complete picture. Follow-ups are typically 20–30 minutes. We intentionally schedule this way — not the 10-minute pattern some clinics run.
For conditions in our scope — primary care, injury recovery, occupational medicine, wellness — yes. For specialized surgical or advanced disease management, we coordinate with trusted specialists and stay involved in your overall care.
We offer telemedicine for appropriate follow-up visits — medication refills, lab result reviews, chronic-condition check-ins. Initial visits and any visit requiring a physical exam are in-person at one of our two Las Vegas locations.
Yes, established patients can request refills through the patient portal or by phone. We maintain a current medication list and review it at every visit. For controlled substances, an in-person visit is typically required per state and federal regulations.
Yes. Age-appropriate preventive screenings are part of every annual wellness exam. We coordinate referrals to imaging centers, specialists, and lab partners that accept your insurance, and follow up on results with you.
Primary care is your long-term relationship for prevention, chronic conditions, and ongoing health management — your physician knows your history. Urgent care is for acute, non-emergency illnesses (ear infection, UTI, minor injury) when your primary care office is closed or fully booked. NuThera offers same-week sick visits to reduce the need for urgent care.
Specialized recovery care for Department of Labor–covered injuries, delivered with the clinical and documentation rigor federal claims require.
Evidence-based physical therapy and rehabilitation for work-related, sports, and accident injuries — built to restore function, not just reduce pain.
Medical-led personal injury care that starts with an MD/PA evaluation and moves into structured physical therapy — built for recovery and defensible documentation.
