Long-Term Health Benefits of Establishing a Family Care Provider Relationship in Texas

Not only are there many benefits to becoming established with a primary provider, but some insurance companies require you to establish yourself with a primary provider. Our providers want to discuss all the benefits of establishing you and your family with a quality primary provider.
Establishing a Primary Provider
Over the last several years, the face of healthcare has been progressively changing. Ages ago, family doctors took care of every facet of your health. These days, doctors frequently refer patients to a specialist doctor rather than tackling a specialized health problem. Primary providers still take care of your needs but in a different way.
Imagine a giant wagon wheel, and the center of the wheel is your primary provider directing your healthcare. Each spoke running from the center of the wheel represents a referral to a specialist doctor or other healthcare professional, such as the following examples.
- Heart: Cardiologist
- Gastroenterology: Gastroenterologist
- Ear, nose, and throat: ENT doctor
- Feet and ankles: Podiatry doctor
- Brain: Neurologist
- Mobility, speech: Physical, occupational, speech therapist
- Mental health: Psychologist
- Skin: Dermatologist
- Spine and back: Chiropractic doctor
