Whether you’re new to Tucson or simply looking for a primary care doctor who truly knows you, Swan River Health Partners are here to help. Our Tucson primary care physicians provide comprehensive, personalized care for adults across the Catalina Foothills and greater Tucson area — from routine physicals and chronic disease management to same-day sick visits and preventive care. We’ve put together this FAQ page to answer the most common questions patients ask when choosing a primary care doctor in Tucson, so you can feel confident before your very first visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, and Humana. We encourage you to contact our office and/or your insurance company to verify coverage.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, we’re currently accepting new patients of all ages. You can schedule your first appointment by calling our El Sol Family Medicine Office at 520-318-1033, or submit the interest form on this website.
What services does your clinic provide?
We are a team of primary care doctors and nurse practitioners providing comprehensive primary care, including annual wellness exams, chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, etc.), vaccinations and immunizations, preventive care and screenings, minor injury treatment, ultrasound guided steroid injections, GLP-1 weight management, and referrals to specialists when needed.
Do you prescribe GLP-1 weight loss medications like Ozempic, Zepbound, Wegovy, etc?
Yes. At Swan River Health, our Tucson primary care physicians evaluate and prescribe GLP-1 medications for appropriate candidates — including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro) — as part of a comprehensive, medically supervised weight management plan.
GLP-1 medications have transformed the treatment of obesity and weight-related conditions, and primary care is the right home for this conversation. We don’t just write a prescription and send you on your way. We review your full health history, assess whether a GLP-1 is appropriate for you, discuss realistic expectations, monitor your progress, and help you build the lifestyle habits that make results last.
These medications are most effective when they’re part of a broader plan that includes nutrition, activity, and ongoing follow-up — and that’s exactly what a relationship-based primary care practice is built to provide without shame.
If you’re in Tucson or the Catalina Foothills and want to have an honest, unhurried conversation about whether a GLP-1 medication is right for you, Swan River Health is accepting new patients — request your appointment today.
Can my primary care doctor help me with perimenopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
Yes — and for most women, primary care is the ideal place to start. At Swan River Health, our Tucson physicians regularly help women navigate perimenopause and menopause, including evaluating whether hormone replacement therapy is the right fit.
Perimenopause often begins in a woman’s 40s, and its symptoms — hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, poor sleep, and brain fog — are frequently mistaken for unrelated conditions. A primary care doctor who knows your full health history is uniquely positioned to connect those dots and create a plan tailored to you.
The science around HRT has evolved significantly, and for many women it is a safe and effective option. We’ll review your symptoms, history, and goals together before recommending anything. New patients in Tucson and the Catalina Foothills are welcome — request an appointment today.
Does Swan River Health Partners treat sports injuries and help patients stay active as they age?
Yes — staying strong, mobile, and active at every age is central to what we do. Our Tucson primary care physicians offer non-operative sports medicine care for active adults, weekend warriors, hikers, golfers, cyclists, pickleball players, and anyone dealing with joint pain, muscle injuries, or the wear and tear that comes with an active life in the desert.
We treat common musculoskeletal conditions — knee pain, shoulder injuries, tendinopathy, and overuse injuries — without defaulting to surgery or specialist referrals when conservative care is appropriate. We also work proactively with patients on active aging and longevity: preserving muscle mass, protecting joints, optimizing cardiovascular fitness, and building a long-term health plan that keeps you doing what you love well into your 60s, 70s, and beyond.
If you’re an active adult in Tucson or the Catalina Foothills looking for a primary care doctor who takes your performance and longevity seriously, we’re accepting new patients — book your visit today.
Do you treat low testosterone and men’s health concerns?
Yes. Men’s health — including low testosterone, sexual health, energy, mood, and muscle loss — is an area where primary care can make a real difference, and one that’s often undertreated or dismissed.
At Swan River Health, our Tucson physicians evaluate men for low testosterone (hypogonadism) and related concerns with thorough lab work, a review of symptoms, and an honest conversation about treatment options including testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) when appropriate. We also address the conditions closely tied to men’s hormonal health — weight gain, metabolic syndrome, sleep apnea, cardiovascular risk, and mental health.
Men in Tucson and the Catalina Foothills who are ready to take their health seriously will find a practice that takes them seriously in return. New patients welcome — book today.
Do you treat anxiety, depression, ADHD and mental health concerns?
Yes. Anxiety and depression are among the most common conditions we see in primary care, and for many patients, their primary care physician is their first — and most trusted — point of contact.
At Swan River Health, we take a whole-person approach to mental health. We evaluate symptoms carefully, rule out underlying medical causes such as thyroid disease or hormonal changes, and discuss all treatment options including therapy referrals, medication management, and lifestyle interventions. We believe mental health is health, and we make space for that conversation at every visit.
If you’re in Tucson or the Catalina Foothills and looking for a primary care doctor who won’t rush you through a mental health concern, we’re accepting new patients — request an appointment today.
Can you handle complex/chronic health issues?
Absolutely. Ongoing management of chronic conditions is a core part of what we do. We’ll work with you to create a personalized care plan, monitor your health, and adjust treatment as needed.
