Also known as: Primary care physician; Medical home
A primary care physician, such as a family medicine doctor or an internist, who knows and understands your needs can be your most valuable health partner. Specialists who work on separate health problems may not see your whole health picture or get a good understanding of what's important to you.
If you don’t have a primary care physician, or are looking to change providers, consider Providence Medical Group. With more than 70 clinics throughout Oregon and more than 550 providers, excellent care is always close to home.
Forms & Information
Providence Medical Group would like to offer a schedule of preventative care services for you to consider. Under normal circumstances, this is a reasonable framework, but individual situations differ. If you have any questions, be sure to talk to your primary care provider to determine if this schedule is right for you.
From the experts
Most of us end up in the doctor’s office because of something specific: Something hurts. Something feels funky. Some new symptom is worrisome. So what do we do during our visit? We talk to our doctor about this one specific thing. But what about the bigger picture?
