You and your doctor will have an ongoing health partnership. He or she will get to know you and your concerns, and you won't have to repeat your history and fill out forms for a string of healthcare providers each time you get sick or need treatment. Your primary care doctor will know your history, any chronic problems or potential troubles you may have, your family, and your long-term health goals. One stop shopping. You can use the same doctor for a variety of conditions, and often the same doctor can treat both you and your family.
Good health begins at an early age.
A family doctor can take you and your family through pregnancy, childbirth and pediatric care. Lower cost and convenience. Primary care doctors serve large populations of patients, so they see and know the most common medical maladies, and have been trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions most cost- effectively. And, in most cases, it's easier to get in to see a primary care doctor than a specialist, since general practices are usually geared up for maximum efficiency. Your doctor is an important resource for your health.
