What is a primary care provider?

Why do I need a primary care provider?

What's the difference between a family medicine and internal medicine physician?

How do I choose a primary care provider?

There are a number of factors to consider when selecting your primary care physician. Get opinions from people you trust such as family, friends, and co-workers. Check your health insurance plan to find out what physicians are in-network. Consider your own preferences for office location, office hours, and ease of scheduling.

Most importantly, your primary care physician should be someone you trust – someone who listens to you and makes you feel comfortable when talking about your health issues."

How often should I have an appointment with my provider?

Where can I go if my primary care provider is not available (i.e. after hours or on the weekend)?

What if I don't have health insurance?
