No matter your age or health status, having a primary care provider is important to your health and well-being. Research has shown that patients who have a primary care provider benefit from better management of chronic diseases, lower overall healthcare costs and a higher level of satisfaction with their care.
Your primary care doctor or advanced practice clinician serves as your main medical provider and manages all aspects of your healthcare needs. They’ll help make sure you’re up to date on things like vaccines and screenings, as well as care for you when you’re sick or injured.
If you need a specialist, your provider can make a referral. They’ll also coordinate your care if you see multiple specialists.
