Medically reviewed by Meredith Goodwin, MD, FAAFP – Written by Megan Lentz

What is a primary care doctor?

Primary care physicians (PCPs) — also known as primary care providers — are a vital part of your preventive care and wellness. All your routine care needs such as annual physicals, vaccinations, and lab work can be addressed by your PCP.

A PCP can be a family medicine provider, internist, or some other healthcare professionals who practice general medicine.

By working with other members of your healthcare team, your PCP can help you manage your overall health.

How often should I see a PCP?

It's recommended that you see a primary care doctor once a year. You may need to see them more often if you have new healthcare concerns or are living with a chronic health condition.

What procedures do PCPs perform?

Primary care physicians can perform the following procedures:

blood draws for routine health tests, like cholesterol or blood sugar levels
diagnostic tests for sexually transmitted infections
diagnostic throat and nose swabs
diagnostic urine tests
physical examinations
Pap smears
audiometry exam (hearing test)

This is not an exhaustive list. Reach out to your PCP to find out what they can do or what might need a referral to a specialist.

What conditions do PCPs treat?

Primary care physicians can treat a wide range of symptoms and conditions. Some conditions your PCP may be able to treat are:

PCPs are also great resources for all of your health concerns. Even if you see your PCP for a condition that they don't directly treat, they can help refer you to a specialist.

Are there vitamins or supplements you recommend?
Do you recommend seeing a specialist? Can you refer me to one?
What are common health concerns for people my age? What can I do to reduce my risk?
