How a primary care provider can
help you
A
primary care provider is someone who can provide basic medical care, perform
annual physicals, coordinate care and refer you to a specialist if necessary,
and take steps to deal with minor health problems before they develop into
life-threatening illnesses. Everybody in Germantown, MD needs one. This might
not need to be a doctor — he or she could be a physician assistant or nurse
practitioner — but he or she needs to be able to respond quickly to requests
for help or an appointment.
The
provider should offer annual physicals, as well as specialized physicals for
students and athletes. Look for a primary care facility with its own clinical
laboratory. If you ever need lab work done, you will be able to have the work
done and get the results much faster.
