What is a Primary Care Doctor?
Primary care doctors help patients maintain their general health and wellbeing, and may coordinate the treatment of long-term conditions. Patients visit primary care physicians for many reasons, including stomach / digestion difficulty, minor injuries, hormonal issues, joint problems, or simply to schedule a checkup / annual physical. Primary care doctors provide long-term care and disease monitoring, and refer patients to specialists when necessary.
