When Should I See Primary Care Physician?

Primary care is a broad term that encompasses many different aspects of healthcare, including:

• Routine care
• Care for urgent but minor health problems or common conditions
• Mental health care
• Maternity and child care
• Psychosocial services
• Liaison with home care
• Health promotion and disease prevention
• Nutrition counseling
• End-of-life care

You should see a primary care physician to sustain and establish overall health and a multitude of other health-related reasons, especially if you do not have a primary care provider. You should check in with your primary care provider at least once a year, even if you feel you’re in optimal health. They can help recognize subtle physical issues like high cholesterol or low vitamin D levels that quietly impact your health. By recognizing and treating such problems early, primary care physicians can prevent more serious concerns down the road.
 
Primary care physicians are essential to healthcare, as they help in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a multitude of ailments and illnesses. They can recognize early signs and symptoms of conditions to help you with prevention. They also provide ongoing care for chronic conditions, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and heart disease. If you have a chronic condition, it is important to have a relationship with a primary care provider.
