Why choose a Primary care Doctor?

Choosing a good primary care doctor is perhaps the most important step you can take to insure that you get good medical care. A primary care doctor is much more than a quick fix 'craftsman' for an acute illness; he can become your healthcare partner in the long haul...helping you to establish your health goals and periodically evaluating how you're doing while treating any illnesses that come up along the way.

Your Primary care Doctor

First of all, you need to find a primary-care doctor; i.e., someone who will provide medical care for your whole family; carry out regular checkups; and treat common illnesses. Such a doctor is a usually a general practitioner (also known as a family physician in today's trendy world) or a general physician. Women may prefer a gynecologist, and for your children you may choose to go to a pediatrician. A primary care doctor is trained to recognize common health problems in the patient as a whole; in other words, his "specialty" is comprehensive care of a patient, either on a short or long-term basis.
