Primary Care Q & A

What benefits does having a primary care doctor provide?

Having a primary care physician on your medical team serves as your point of contact for all the medical issues you could face. By establishing care with a trusted primary care physician, you:

  • Can get medication refills quickly
  • Undergo preventive screenings and labs regularly
  • Have someone to call anytime you’re sick or injured
  • Have a medical provider who evaluates all of your medical records


Your primary care physician also helps you manage chronic conditions you develop as you get older, as well as any issues you’ve had for an extended period. They can partner with any specialists you need to see, like a cardiologist or endocrinologist, to ensure you receive comprehensive care.

How often should I see my primary care doctor?

It depends on your overall health, but in general, the primary care doctors at Pleasant Grove Family Clinic want to see you once a year for a physical exam. However, there are other times when you’ll need to come into the clinic.
