Primary Care



 
 
 What is primary care?

A primary care physician is usually the first doctor you consult during illness or for a health assessment.    Whether it’s the flu, diabetes or depression, primary care doctors are the first step to diagnosis and treatment.  

 

Why should I have a primary care physician?

One major benefit to having a primary care doctor is consistency of care.  Your primary care doctor will know your complete health history and he or she will know when you need to see a specialist.

Why should I choose a doctor before I’m sick?
