A relationship for your whole health
When you see the same primary care doctor for years, they get to know your health history, including what illnesses you’re prone to and medications you’re taking. They’re best suited to treat your overall health needs. A primary care doctor can also:
- Refer you to a specialist, lab or imaging center, if needed
- Talk with your other doctors to ensure your care is coordinated
- Monitor complex and chronic health conditions you may have
- Help keep you healthy through checkups, annual wellness visits and vaccines
Care for you and your whole family
A primary care doctor is sometimes called a primary care physician or PCP. You can think of them as your first line of defense when you or a loved one isn’t feeling well. They’re also who you’ll see for preventive services, like annual checkups. Many are considered family doctors and can treat children, adolescents and adults.
