Primary Care
Many of us think about finding a doctor when we’re not feeling well. But, it’s important to have a primary care provider (PCP) before that point. Your PCP gets to know you, your medical history and health goals. From annual exams to managing ongoing disease, your PCP is a partner in your long-term health. With a PCP by your side, you'll be healthier—inside and out.

Family Medicine providers (or family doctors) see both children and adults. They can care for your family from birth through adolescence and adulthood. Some family doctors also provide prenatal care and deliver babies.
Internal Medicine providers (or internists) specialize in caring for adults, ages 18 and older—often those with more complex medical needs.
Pediatricians specialize in caring for children from birth through the teenage years. Most children switch to Family Medicine or Internal Medicine when they are around age 18.
