During your first appointment with a primary care provider (PCP), you can expect a thorough evaluation of your health through a comprehensive medical history and a physical examination. This initial visit often starts with a review of your medical history and any pertinent family health history, followed by discussions about your lifestyle, including diet, exercise, and any habits impacting your health. The PCP will conduct a physical exam, checking your vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, and temperature, along with any specific checks based on your medical history and current health concerns. This appointment is not only about assessment; it's a vital opportunity for you to raise any health queries or concerns you have. Based on the examination and discussion, your PCP might further recommend additional tests or screenings to better understand your health condition or refer you to specialists if needed. The aim is to establish a baseline for your health and to start building a trusted relationship with your PCP for ongoing health management.
