From childhood checkups to adult preventative care, your primary care doctor provides continuity of care through all stages of life. Your PCP gets to know you and your family personally, understanding your lifestyle and medical history to provide a complete picture of your health.
- Through regular checkups and screenings, your primary care doctor can catch potential health issues early, which means more treatment options and better outcomes if medical concerns do arise.
- As your trusted health care provider, they're also your first stop when something doesn't feel right and your personal health advocate, so you don't have to navigate medical care alone.
- Having a primary care doctor provides peace of mind because they provide comprehensive, age-friendly care. As your medical needs change, they will work with you to map out a plan for lifelong health.
Take it from Prevea Health's President and CEO, Ashok Rai, MD, one of the most important relationships you can build for you health is with a primary care doctor (PCP).
