Primary care doctor: To get complete care, one must have a relationship with a primary care doctor. One may have to visit several doctors to find one who has enough time during the visits (the current health care & insurance system in the U.S. Causes very short visits). Usually, only one issue can be addressed per visit, so plan to do several visits (initial, labs & follow-up, tests & follow-up, specialists, etc...).

Medicine/Family med: A primary care physician, that may be an internal medicine doctor, or family medicine doctor would be a good person to start with.
