Your primary care provider (PCP), along with a healthy diet and exercise, is one of the greatest assets for your health. Primary care should be the first choice for most non-emergent health needs. No matter where you live, PCP\u2019s fulfill the same important role for your health care.<\/p>

Before you select the option of a walk-in clinic or urgent care, schedule a checkup with your primary care provider for non-urgent issues and regular checkups. <\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    An internist, or an internal medicine physician, is a doctor that specializes in internal organs and systems. However, it is important to note, an internist can also provide primary care services as well, as Dr. Cote does. An internist can treat patients for a wide range of illnesses, as well as help to manage and care for chronic diseases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
