Should I Have a Primary Care Doctor?

Many health experts will tell you that it is very beneficial to have a long-term relationship with a primary care doctor. He or she will get to know you well over the years and will be in the best position to evaluate changes in your health.

A good primary care physician will also advise you on the prevention of diseases. For example, weight problems often cause heart disease and diabetes. Your family care doctor will keep an eye on your weight and recommend exercise or a healthier diet if there are any concerns or warning signs.

The Novi doctors website is an excellent resource on how to prepare for your first visit with a primary care doctor, no matter where you live.
