What is a Primary Care Physician?

A primary care physician is a physician who provides the first contact for a person with an undiagnosed health concern as well as a continuing care of varied medical conditions. Primary care physicians are not limited by cause, organ system, or diagnose. These particular healthcare professionals are usually the first individuals contacted by a patient due to factors such as accessibility, either through search or location, ease of communication, familiarity, and issues of cost and managed care requirements. Upon visiting a primary care physician he or she will obtain a health history and perform physical examinations. The doctor will diagnose and treat, or refer a patient to a specialist. A primary physician can perform minor surgical procedures and prescribe medications to patients. There are different types of primary care physicians:
