When should I go to a Primary Care Doctor?

Primary Care Doctor 

Your Primary Care Doctor typically acts as the first contact and principal point of continuing care for patients, and coordinates other specialist care that the patient may need. Patients commonly receive primary care from professionals such as a primary care physician, a nurse practitioner, or a physician assistant. Depending on the nature of the health condition, patients may then be referred to a specialist for their specific medical condition.

You can also schedule an annual Preventive Care (wellness) exam with your Primary Care Doctor. Preventive Care services typically include:

• Vaccinations and flu shots

• Physicals (school, sports, or annual)

• Annual blood work

• Annual Gynecologic exams

• Well baby checks & More
