Build a trusted relationship with a primary care physician

Think you don’t have time to visit a primary care physician (PCP)?

Your primary care doctor is an essential part of your health care team — your advocate and partner in wellness. These doctors can manage a variety of conditions, provide essential screenings, and be your first line of defense when illness or injury strikes.

UPMC makes finding the right primary care doctor and booking your appointment simple and convenient. Here’s how.
