Psychiatry: A Crucial Component of Primary Care
When we talk about primary care, psychiatry absolutely counts! Mental health plays a significant role in overall wellbeing, and Nao Medical recognizes its importance. We integrate psychiatry into our comprehensive approach to ensure our patients receive the holistic care they deserve.
