“Establishing a relationship with a primary care physician is essential in ensuring patients receive everything they need regarding their healthcare concerns,” Dr. Bewley-Thomas said. “Our job is to listen to patients, perform thorough examinations and prescribe medications to help treat their medical conditions.”
