Primary Care Q & A
What is a primary care provider?
A primary care provider is the first person you contact for all your health needs.

At CareOne Internal Medicine and Primary Care, you can count on same-day appointments and primary care providers who truly care about your concerns.
Why do I need a primary care provider?

It’s not easy trying to navigate the health care system on your own. Your primary care provider helps you find medical specialists and other services you may need in the community.
Medication management
Adults with chronic health problems typically take more than one medication. While you may need multiple medications, the more you take, the higher your risk for adverse reactions and unwanted side-effects.
