Choosing a primary care provider

Finding the right primary care provider is important, and it's the first step to take as a new patient.

A primary care provider:

• Evaluates and treats day-to-day health problems
• Advises you on preventive screenings at different stages throughout your life
• Follows up with you to explain test results and judge how well your treatment is working
• Refers you to qualified specialists when needed
• Maintains the big picture of your overall health and treatment needs

Primary Care includes these specialties:

• Family Medicine
• Internal Medicine
• Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine

When selecting a primary care provider, you may consider:

• A clinic or office location
• A specific specialty: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine or Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine
• Your medical conditions, perhaps matching your needs to the interests or expertise of the healthcare professional
