A Primary Care Physician (PCP) is medically trained to take care of your routine healthcare needs and is the primary person responsible for coordinating your care, including referrals to specialists. PCPs practice in a wide range of medical disciplines and can be Family or General Practitioners, Pediatricians, Geriatricians or Internists (Adult Medicine). Obstetricians /Gynecologists (Ob/Gyns) also serve as PCPs.
