What is a primary care physician?
A Primary Care Physician (PCP) is a medical doctor who serves as the first point of contact for patients seeking general healthcare. They provide routine checkups, diagnose and treat common illnesses, and manage chronic conditions. PCPs also play a key role in preventive care, offering guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and catching health issues early. They may refer patients to specialists for more specific treatments if needed, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care.
