    Philosophy of care | I’m a primary care physician, so I treat the patient as a whole and address all needs, whether physical, mental or social. Specialists such as cardiologists may specifically treat the heart, or pulmonologists may treat the lungs. Primary care physicians treat the whole body from top to bottom. We identify the nature of the problem and address it or, if called for, are able to refer a patient for more specialized care. I enjoy what I do because I like to help patients and prevent diseases before they start. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to help people and I like to interact face-to-face, so I always had a passion for medicine. It’s rewarding to help someone directly with my skills, mind and know-how, so to speak. And I like the long-term relationships that come with primary care. I treat people from ages 16 to 90 or even 100, and I get to know their families and kids. It’s very rewarding to take care of entire families. | Community involvement | I sing in a church choir and am involved in church life. I like to sing and enjoy music in general. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing in winter and playing soccer in summer. I belong to a recreational soccer league of people above 40. We’ve been playing together for more than 12 years, mostly on weekends. For skiing, I like to go out West to the Rockies. I pick a different place each year, such as Big Sky, Montana, Snowmass, Colorado, Snowbird, Utah, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and go for a week at a time. Locally, I enjoy taking my kids to Blue Mountain and Camelback. Dr. Shevtziv is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data.

    What is a primary care physician (PCP)?  

    A primary care physician (PCP) is the first doctor people go to when they feel sick or need a check-up. This doctor helps with many different health problems, gives advice to keep patients healthy, and treats common illnesses. A PCP also keeps track of a person’s overall health and can refer them to a specialist if more specific care is needed.    

    What’s the difference between a primary care physician (PCP) and a specialist?  

    The main difference between a PCP and a specialist is the kind of health conditions they treat. PCPs care for people of all ages and treat a wide range of health issues, from the common cold to sports injuries. They also focus on preventive care, such as vaccines to prevent illnesses or screenings to catch diseases before they become serious. 

    Specialists, on the other hand, have advanced training in a specific area of medicine like cardiology (heart health) or neurology (brain health). There are many kinds of specialists on MediFind, each with their own focus. When needed, PCPs will help patients understand when they need to see a specialist. PCPs will also collaborate with specialists on a treatment plan specific to their patients’ needs. 

    What is another name for a primary care physician?

    There are a few different types of primary care doctors. In addition to primary care providers, a primary care physician may also be called a general practitioner, family doctor, or internist. There are also PCPs with special training to work with specific patient populations. Pediatricians, for example, are PCPs who work with children, while geriatricians are PCPs who work with older adults.  

    Why do people have a primary care physician?

    People have a primary care physician to help keep them healthy and to have a doctor they can go to for most of their health needs. A PCP helps with regular check-ups, treats illnesses, and can help manage long-term health problems. That’s why it’s helpful for patients to maintain long-term relationships with their PCPs if possible.    

    Why does my health insurance require me to see a primary care physician?   

    Health insurance requires patients to see a primary care physician because a PCP helps keep people healthy with preventive care, which lowers costs for the insurer. A PCP can also decide if a patient needs to see a specialist, which helps avoid unnecessary tests and treatments, keeping healthcare costs down. 

    What is the first thing a doctor does when seeing a patient?   

    The first thing a primary care doctor does when seeing a patient is to ask questions about their health and health goals. This includes asking about symptoms, past health problems, family health history, and lifestyle. This helps the doctor understand what’s going on if the patient is experiencing a problem, or what might help the patient get healthier or stay healthy. 

    When should I visit a Nurse Practitioner (NP) vs. a Doctor (MD)?  

    You can visit a Nurse Practitioner (NP) for routine check-ups, minor illnesses, and help with long-term health issues. Nurse Practitioners are trained to handle many common health problems. You should see a Doctor (MD) for more serious or complicated health issues, or if you need specialized care that an NP cannot provide. Sometimes, NPs and MDs work together to take care of their patients.  

    How do I find a Primary Care Doctor near Wind Gap, PA?
