The Importance of Having a Family Doctor

Dr. Deepa Sharma

There are few things you have to know about having a family doctor. First, it is very important to have a relationship with the physician. Deepa Sharma, Family Medicine Physician at Baptist Health Primary Care, says finding a primary care doctor is not that easy, because you have to find someone who understands you, your needs and expectations.

She also explains you have to develop that relationship, so then if a problem arises, to have a relationship with someone that you trust can really help you through a difficult moment.

Trust is key and also having your annual exam is important to be aware of any illness without symptoms.
