Our “Mom Docs” are Accepting New Patients.
Choosing a primary care doctor for yourself or your family is an important first step in managing your and your family’s healthcare. Your primary care physician is your medical home base. Your primary care doctor is who you visit for most of your medical needs, including routine screenings and wellness checks, non-emergency illnesses like sore throats and earaches, and the person you talk to about any health questions or concerns you may have. Your primary doctor is also the person that refers you to a medical specialist if one is needed.
Some patient primary care relationships can last decades and involve the entire family, while others may only last a short time due to a move or change in insurance. No matter how long you plan to stay with a primary healthcare provider, the relationship is a significant one. You will want to choose a doctor you feel comfortable with, someone with knowledge in the areas that meet your families healthcare needs, a person you feel you’ll be able to effectively communicate with (especially if language is a factor), a PCP who is “in-network” for your health insurance plan, and who is accepting new patients.
At River Bend Medical Associates we look forward to providing you with the best in primary healthcare. We understand that for young families and moms, scheduling time to find a new primary care doctor and bringing kids in for appointments can be challenging.
