CVH Primary Care: Partnering for your health, close to home

Accepting New Patients at All 5 Clinics

At Carson Valley Health (CVH), your primary care provider (PCP) is your partner in health. Through checkups and health screenings, our team will monitor your well-being and help you achieve your health goals.

Having regular appointments with a PCP helps to prevent illnesses or catch them early, when they might be easier (and less expensive) to treat. Your PCP is here to help you manage chronic conditions and stay on track with vaccines and screenings.

And, with locations in Gardnerville, Minden and Wellington, CVH provides high-quality primary care without the long drive.

High-quality care with a hometown feel

Our providers have decades of combined experience—and a commitment to personalized care. Our patients appreciate how our provider teams take the time to know them and their health needs over the years. We care about our community, and we’re here for you, our friends and neighbors.

Our primary care providers include:

Family medicine physicians. Our family doctors (DOs and MDs) provide care for people of all ages, from babies to grandparents. They can take care of your entire family.
Internal medicine physicians. Internal medicine doctors, or internists, specialize in adult patients. Their focus includes disease prevention and ongoing care of chronic illnesses. They often care for patients with more than one disease.
Advanced practice providers. Our highly trained physician assistants and nurse practitioners deliver primary care services similar to a physician. Many of our patients appreciate how easy it is to get an appointment with an advanced practice provider sooner.

Our CVH approach to primary care

CVH primary care providers are here to help you stay as healthy as possible. We offer a full range of primary care services, including:

Annual wellness exams.
Chronic disease management.
Referrals to other specialists, as needed.
Sports physicals. (Sports physicals are free on Thursdays at CVH Primary Care Minden Village.)
Well-woman exams.

We offer limited same-day appointments too. So next time you or your little one wakes up to a sore throat, we’ll have you on the way to feeling better soon. For non-emergency care that can’t wait, come to our walk-in urgent care center.

You can also expect timely communication from our team. When you contact us with a health concern via phone or your MyChart account, a member of our staff will respond promptly.

We meet people where they are in their healthcare journey with knowledge and compassion, and we understand how hard it can be to make changes like quitting smoking or managing your blood pressure.
