What is primary care and why is it important to have a primary care doctor?

Updated over 2 months ago

A primary care doctor is your main partner in health — a doctor or care team who knows you, listens to you, and helps you stay healthy over time. Your Aligned primary care doctor can handle almost everything from checkups and prescriptions to sick visits and helping you manage ongoing conditions.

Your primary care doctor should be your first call for care, because they know your history and what matters to you. They can also help you navigate and coordinate care so it saves you time, stress, and unnecessary costs. With Aligned, you’ll get a trusted doctor who actually takes the time to get to know you and makes it easy to get the care you need.
