Think of a primary care doctor as a friend you can talk to about anything involving your physical or mental health and well-being.
While research suggests primary care visit rates have declined during the last decade, studies show that in-person primary visits offer a total cost reduction of more than $720 per patient yearly in medical costs.
Whether you feel sick, need help losing weight or managing a disease, or simply desire preventive care to stay as healthy as possible, the family medicine experts at Associated Physicians Group, PLC, are here for you every step of the way.
The benefits to expect when seeing a primary care doctor routinely include:
Not all chronic diseases and their risk factors cause symptoms. Examples include high blood pressure, sometimes diabetes, and high cholesterol.
However, detecting these conditions in the early stage is vital to avoiding severe or life-threatening complications. Our Associated Physicians Group PLC specialists offer routine health screenings to detect problems before they cause serious health problems.
You can save time and money on health care costs by regularly checking in with a primary care doctor. Studies demonstrate that primary care visits can save nearly $4,000 on average and more than $16,000 among high-risk population groups.
