At Biggers Family Medicine in Brandon, FL we understand that finding the right fit for a primary care physician can be a trying process. Here are some ways to help build that long-term relationship.

Early Detection and Prevention

One of the key factors in establishing a long-term relationship with a primary care doctor is finding one that is proactive in your healthcare. Finding small problems before they become major ones. This means you want someone who can help find the subtle warning signs, get you tested, and find solutions. A doctor who is mindful of prevention methods and is great in early detection can be the key to a longer, healthier life.

Personal Care

Another big factor in finding a doctor for keeps is finding one that gives personal care. They know you, they know what your history is, what conditions you have, and what works, and doesn't work, for you. They don’t push a one-size-fits-all treatment, they work on one that is customized for you and your own needs. This can be an important part of establishing a relationship with the primary care physician.

Trusting and Trustworthy

Another factor we’ll add is that you want to find open and honest communication that goes both ways. You’re comfortable enough to share what is really happening and the doctor is trustworthy enough to share what they’re thinking as well. With open lines of communication, nothing is lost in translation and you and the doctor are both more equipped to deal with anything that arises.
