A member asked:

Is it best to have a primary care physician or would i be okay just going to a walk-in clinic? i currently just go to the walk in clinic.

Need primary doc.: We generally feel that we need a primary physician who gets to know us. You need a doctor who gets to know your medical conditions, habits, vulnerabilities. And you need a doctor who will pay attention to your health maintenance - check cholesterol, order mammograms. You typically would not get this at a "stamp out the fires" walk-in clinic.
