Importance of a Primary Care Physician

When was the last time you visited a doctor? For most of us, it was likely the last time we were sick. Bon Secours Medical Group Primary Care Physicians believe that being healthy is more than just not being sick. Annual exams and preventative screenings conducted by a primary care provider allow patients to reach their optimal health. It's important to see your physician on a regular basis, as they can educate you on healthy habits, review your family history, and provide a health home to help organize all of your medical care. Should you need comprehensive specialty care, your physician will work with our network of specialists. Together, they will put you back on the road to good health.

 

Deciding Flu Seasonon a health care provider is an essential step to living (and enjoying) a healthy life. Whether you need a routine check-up or specialty care, our online physician search makes the process of finding a physician near your home or work easy. Here are a few tips to help you find your perfect match:
  • Do they accept your insurance?
  • Are their hours convenient to your schedule?
  • Do you share their philosophy on health?
  • Is their office conveniently located near your home or work?  
  • Do they offer after hours care?
