Saint Vincent Medical Group primary care providers provide personalized health-care services for the whole family, with a focus on encouraging healthy life choices and preventive screening.

Each of our primary care providers goes beyond annual exams and diagnosis or treatments to view each patient as a whole. We work to become familiar with patients’ lifestyle and health patterns in order to provide comprehensive guidance to managing health care needs.

Our primary care providers place the highest priority on accessibility, communication and compassion in partnering with our patients. Using a broad range of knowledge and expertise, our physicians work with each patient to manage both immediate and long-term needs, and strive to ensure that patients feel confident and secure with our health-care services. Everyone works as a team for the maintenance and betterment of patients’ health.

Your primary care doctor monitors your ongoing health and wellness along with any chronic medical conditions. This doctor may be a:

  • Family Practitioner (Family Medicine) – A medical doctor who cares for children and adults of all ages and may include obstetrics, pediatrics and minor surgery. This doctor may ask an internist to consult on a complex case involving an adult patient.
  • Internist (Internal Medicine) – A medical doctor who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases and conditions, also known as an internal medicine physician.

Primary Care Offers a Long-Term Partnership

You are not simply a patient. You are a partner and an active member of your healthcare team. Developing a sustained relationship with a primary care provider enables you to have a go-to source to address your healthcare concerns and provide continuity of care. This should start with wellness and prevention. By undergoing an annual checkup, you and your healthcare provider will be able to keep your health on track and work to prevent or detect more serious health concerns as early as possible. Over the years, your doctor will have a built-in understanding of your medical history, health preferences and decisions, which can play a vital role in addressing more serious health issues.

In the event that you experience a sudden health concern, such as a cough or a fever, you can contact your primary care provider and receive guidance that may save you a trip to the emergency room. Your doctor will also help you manage chronic or long-term conditions such as diabetes or coronary artery disease. They are also able to refer you to a specialist when you need more detailed care for a specific health issue.

When to See a Primary Care Physician?

Your primary care physician should be your first point of contact when you have a health concern or illness that is not an emergency. If needed, he or she will coordinate care with any other physicians or medical specialists who should be involved in your care. Your primary care physician will:

  • Provide preventive and wellness care
  • Teach healthy lifestyle choices
  • Identify and treat common medical conditions and illnesses
  • Determine the urgency of your medical problem and direct you to the best place for care
  • Make referrals to medical specialists for specific health problems
  • Order laboratory tests and imaging to evaluate health

How To Find a Primary Care Physician?

Over time, your primary care physician will get to know you and your medical history. That is why developing a sustained relationship with a primary care physician is essential and can go a long way toward keeping your health in check. To find a PCP, ask yourself what matters to you and your family.

Getting in touch with your insurance plan provider is a good first step before narrowing down your options, as many insurance plans limit the providers you can choose from. Additionally, consider getting a primary care physician close to home, how helpful or friendly the staff is and whether their office hours work with your schedule. You may also ask family and friends for recommendations. As you and your personality is unique, each primary care physician is unique. Try to find a provider that best fits your personality and needs.

Once you have narrowed down your candidates, try to get more information about the following:

  • Does the PCP come across as open and friendly to you? Would you feel comfortable confiding in them?
  • Does the PCP prefer to treat conditions aggressively or take a "wait and see" approach?
  • Does the PCP try to handle things in the office or refer most patients to specialists?
  • How easy is it to reach the PCP? Does the provider use email?
  • Do you prefer a PCP focused on disease treatment or wellness and prevention?
  • Does the PCP order a lot of tests?
  • What do colleagues and patients say about the PCP?
  • Does the PCP invite you to be involved in your care?
  • Does the PCP view your patient-provider relationship as a true partnership?
