Primary care physicians (PCPs) are on the front line of health care, providing everything from diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and chronic conditions to patient education and advice regarding disease prevention.
Receiving an annual physical from your primary care physician is important for maintaining good health, but their role goes far beyond checking your cholesterol and blood pressure once a year.
Your PCP will be there for you if you feel sick, have an infection, are struggling with addiction or are experiencing women’s or men’s health issues. They should be the expert you know and rely on for all your health needs – big and small.

Patients should have a partnership with their family doctor and primary care physician, with the end goal being continued good health and wellness.
If you have a chronic condition, a PCP will do their best to diagnose it and refer you to specialists for treatment. If you have concerns about aging or reproductive health, they can be the first point of contact you turn to for advice and referrals.
Our primary care physicians board certified in internal medicine and family practice and have access to a full suite of cutting-edge imaging and lab testing tools to ensure there’s no health concern too obscure or too challenging for them to begin addressing.
If you are currently experiencing health issues or you just want a wellness checkup for peace of mind, we can help.
The primary care physicians at Tempe St. Luke's Hospital maintain an unwavering commitment to their patients’ overall health and wellness. It’s of vital importance that each patient feels comfortable with their primary care physician, because transparency and honesty are essential to accurately identifying and effectively treating illnesses and maintaining optimal health.
Every primary care doctor in our network is committed to building patient-physician relationships anchored in trust.
Internal medicine essentially entails applying medical expertise and scientific knowledge to diagnose ailments and develop treatment options. Internal medicine specialists must boast a comprehensive and far-reaching knowledge of the human body, potential diseases, illnesses and effective treatment options.
Family medicine is a relatively recent specialty that emphasizes the doctor-patient relationship. As medical care advanced by leaps and bounds in the 20th century, there tended to be far more doctors specializing in narrow aspects of health care rather than general family practice.
This resulted in a deemphasis on an all-encompassing approach to patient health and wellness in exchange for treating specific types of people – such as pediatricians for children – or specific organs or systems – such as gastroenterologists for the digestive system.
Family practice specialists are key to addressing that gap by providing a holistic approach to caring for patients.
They have a well-rounded educational background in all aspects of health and the human body, and they are focused on helping patients with the full scope of ailments or health concerns that can potentially arise.
As most people’s first line of defense against chronic conditions, illness and health problems, PCPs are extraordinarily vital to the health care system. That’s also why your choice of primary care doctor is hugely important.
Your primary care doctor should make you feel confident in the care you’re receiving and allow you to rest easier knowing there’s a skilled and knowledgeable medical professional in your corner.
