Why get critical care from my primary care provider?
There are a couple of big advantages to getting critical care from your primary care providers at Marion Physician Associates. First, you get care from the same experienced team that you already know. Knowing your care providers makes for a more comfortable experience when you’re feeling stressed, sick, or uncomfortable.
Another big advantage of getting critical care from Marion Physician Associates is that there aren’t any worries about coordinating medical records. Your care providers already have all the information they need in the office, so they know about drug allergies and other issues unique to you. This makes for efficient and worry-free personalized care.
