Benefits of Building a Relationship with a Primary Care Physician:

1.) A primary care physician knows how to deal with everything from helping you through a bout with the flu to back pain and digestion issues, to uncovering serious illnesses like cancer and heart disease. They can treat almost anything. If not, they will refer you to a specialist who can.

2.) Your physician will get to know you as a person. You will build trust and be able to talk about anything that is bothering you physically and emotionally. That is important as problems in any of these areas can affect your overall health.

3.) Your primary care physician is the point person who helps you navigate the healthcare jungle. He or she:

• Helps you find the best specialist if you need one.
• Knows about all of the medicines and supplements you are taking and looks for possible interactions.
• Orders the right tests and other diagnostics you need at each stage of your life.
• Answers any questions you have regarding your care so you are clear on all of the details

4.) Your primary care physician is not just interested in you when you are sick. He or she wants to collaborate with you on a wellness and prevention plan, too. Consider your primary care physician your best source for information on things like weight management, smoking cessation, help with alcohol and drug use, and managing stress and anxiety.

5.) Your primary care physician will arrange for screenings such as mammograms, colonoscopies, blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and more. It is important to note that many serious illnesses are found during routine physicals.

Routine visits to your primary care physician are recommended to keep you healthy and up to date on necessary screenings. If you do not have a primary care physician, now is the time.
