the Role of Primary Care
The benefit of having a primary care doctor is that you have someone who knows all about you, that keeps you healthy and gives you routine screenings, and saves you time. Christopher Irizarry, Vice President of Primary Health Care Services at Banyan Health Systems, says the primary care physician is the quarterback of the team, because that is the person that is going to manage all of your health care needs.
"They will be the ones to educate you on what foods you should eat, how much exercise you need. Your primary care doctor is your best friend in the health care system."
