How often do you see your primary care physician? It is highly, highly recommended that you visit your primary care physician once a year. Do you even have a primary care physician? We meet one, this is doctor located at 1 99 Cherry Street here in Milford, Connecticut and Doctor Shaud. Why is it that people have a tough time coming to see their primary care physician? You know, a lot of times people think, you know, they're feeling healthy, if they're feeling good, everything's good. But I think it's really important that everybody see their primary care physician at least once a year. You know, you never know what may come up. And there's a lot to be discussed even if you're feeling pretty good, right? You, you actually do coordinate their health care. How do you do that? So, during a preventative visit, there's a lot we discuss so routine blood work, uh cancer screening and vaccinations, Arabian is seeing patients as well. It's about prevention, right? It's about screening and it's about preventing hospitalization. So we could reduce overall health care cost, right? So if we stay ahead of the game, we stay ahead of the curve, right? That's our ultimate goal. Um You know, it's always better for patients to establish care with us so that we know them, right? We have a uh very well established connection and report with the patient so that if they ever do end up in a, you know, acute care facility or any other type of situation will be much better and able to handle them when a patient comes to see you. How, how long do you visit with them? Because I know that patients are always asking about that. The answer is as long as it takes. Ok, I always tell my patient, whatever amount of time I spend with you is, is appropriate and that's the amount of time you would want me to spend with you. And that's what I give the next person. Ok. So if it takes longer for some, then so be it. And if you don't have a primary care physician, all you have to do is head to Harvard healthcare dot org slash southwest. I'm Jocelyn Momenta.
