Specialists play an important role in your health care.
In fact, many people see several specialists.
It essential to have a primary care doctor help you manage all of your medical issues. A doctor that knows you, your problems and your medications.
For example, your ophthalmologist can take excellent care of your eyes; but if you have a question about your high blood pressure medicine or about an influenza vaccine, it is not their area of expertise.
It is the job of you primary doctor to help you manage your health.
