Benefits of Having a Primary Care Provider
Primary care providers do more than diagnose problems, such as colds, the
flu, allergies, and other common complaints. They also help people prevent
and manage chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Over time, primary care providers get to know their patients and any health
challenges they may live with. The familiarity benefits patients because
people are more likely to be honest with doctors and nurses they trust.
That transparency leads to a more accurate diagnosis and faster treatment.
A good relationship with a primary care provider also saves patients from
large financial burdens that neglected medical conditions can create.
A primary care provider can look for any red flags present in physical
and behavioral health and make suggestions that their patients know they
can trust.
Through annual wellness screenings with a primary care provider, patients
can address any medical issues they have as well as ask questions about
their day-to-day health. A primary care provider who advises patients
for years will likely be able to answer any questions and swiftly address
any concerns those patients have simply because they know that person’s history.
Other benefits that come with having a primary care provider include:
Advanced treatment service referrals. If your medical concern requires specialty care, your primary care provider
will know what your next steps need to be. The office staff will likely
be able to help you plan your next steps before you leave the building.
Saving time. Returning to a primary care provider will save you time in
the long run. They will have your medical history on file—and perhaps that of
your family, if you all go to the same primary care provider—so
any new patient paperwork will not be needed, nor will you have to rehash
your medical history with every visit. If you’re visiting the office
for any reason other than an annual checkup, your doctor will likely want
to get right to addressing the issue of your appointment.
With a primary care provider helping you look out for your health, you
can rest easy knowing that if you need them, they are willing and able
to address your health concerns and see to it that you get the proper
care you need when you need it.
