Why Choose a Primary Care Physician?

Your doctor knows your health history:

And therefore, identifies health issues early. Routine visits with or from your primary care provider not only maintain your comfort level, but also help establish your health history with more oversight and precision. Knowledge of your medical history, as well as your family health history, is imperative for the prevention of disease and also helps your doctor catch early symptoms of dangerous conditions in time.

High level of comfort:

Choosing a primary care doctor you trust is the first step. The next step is scheduling regular appointments, including via house visits where necessary, such that you may discuss your concerns and overall health.

Managing chronic diseases successfully:

Scheduling regular visits and performing routine tests are two ways your doctor can help you to better monitor a chronic illness.

Reduced frequency of hospital and ER visits:

The most up-to-date research shows how patients who regularly visit their PCPs experience fewer hospital and emergency visits than those who do not employ primary care.

Holistic health care means saving time and effort:

With a Primary Care Physician, you simply have to make a single appointment to discuss any variety of health issues you might be experiencing, whether physical, mental, or emotional.
