A primary care physician works with you to manage your health and wellness throughout your life. They perform critical screening and testing to look for signs of serious illness or health factors that could indicate you're at an increased risk for certain types of diseases. They also treat injuries and illnesses and can help you make important health-related decisions based on your specific medical history and lifestyle habits. Most of all, they're a rich resource of health-related information and services that you can tap into to find answers to the questions and concerns you have about your health.
Primary care involves a broad range of treatments and services, including:
preventive care to help you ward off illness and disease and optimize your health at any age
women's health and men's health to help diagnose and manage gender-specific issues and provide confidential guidance for health-related issues
travel medicine to review the risks associated with traveling in specific destinations or risks associated with personal medical issues, and to provide proactive care to help you avoid those risks
emotional health care to help you deal with issues of anxiety, depression and other related issues
integrative medicine to combine traditional care approaches with alternative or complementary techniques
One of the advantages of having a primary care doctor skilled in a variety of techniques and treatments is that it fosters a whole-patient approach rather than solely treating discrete symptoms.
Ideally, you should see your primary care doctor annually for a wellness checkup, and more frequently if you have chronic medical issues that require monitoring, evaluation or ongoing management.
