Introduction

Primary care doctors provide patients with basic care as well as referrals to specialists as needed. They assist with preventive care and perform tasks like routine physical exams, healthcare screenings, vaccinations, diagnostic tests, and they often help patients manage common chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.

There are different types of primary care doctors that work with patients of different age groups, but if you have a family, your best choice might be a family medicine doctor who can work with all age groups. No matter what type of primary care physician you choose, this is the doctor you’re likely to see most often for common problems as well as to get referrals for health problems that require care from a specialist.
