What Is Primary Care?

Primary care is a broad field of medical practice that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide range of health concerns. It includes routine checkups, wellness visits, screenings, immunizations, and the ongoing management of chronic conditions. A primary care provider (PCP) often serves as your long-term healthcare partner, helping you navigate complex health decisions and coordinating any necessary specialist referrals.

Who Should See a Primary Care Provider?

You should visit a primary care provider if you:

  • Need an annual physical or wellness checkup
  • Have symptoms like fever, fatigue, or pain
  • Want to screen for or prevent future illness
  • Are managing a chronic disease
  • Need prescriptions, medication refills, or specialist referrals
  • Need immunizations for school, work, or travel

How Often Should You See a Primary Care Provider?

It’s recommended to have an annual checkup even if you feel healthy. More frequent visits may be necessary if you’re managing chronic conditions, taking medications, or monitoring new symptoms.

We don’t just treat problems—we work with you to prevent them, detect them early, and manage them effectively for the long haul.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a primary care doctor do?
A primary care doctor handles routine health checkups, manages chronic illnesses, treats minor illnesses, and helps coordinate specialist care when needed.
When should I go to a primary care provider instead of urgent care?
If your issue isn’t an emergency and you want long-term care or medical advice, primary care is the best choice. For sudden injuries or high fever, urgent care may be faster.
How do I know if I need a check-up or a sick visit?
If you’re feeling fine and just want to stay ahead of health problems, it’s a check-up. If you have symptoms like a sore throat, fever, or pain, schedule a sick visit.
Can primary care help with mental health concerns?
Yes. Many primary care providers are trained to assess and treat common mental health issues like anxiety and depression, or refer you to a specialist. Early support through primary care can prevent symptoms from worsening and connect you to the right resources faster.
Is primary care only for adults?
No. Primary care covers all ages, including children, teens, adults, and seniors, depending on your provider’s training (family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics).
