How do I find a family medicine physician?
Scripps is the provider San Diego turns to for excellence in health care. Let us be there for you and your family. It is important to have a primary care physician as they act as your personal physician, providing annual exams to monitor your health, complete annual screenings and manage vaccinations. They are also the first doctor you see for any health problems you may experience. As the quarterback for your health care, they help you get and stay healthy, and they’ll coordinate any specialty care you might need. If you’re considering an HMO or managed health care plan, you’ll need to choose a primary care physician as part of your enrollment.
