    I grew up in an environment where becoming a doctor was a sure way to be recognized and to make your family happy and proud. This motivated those around me to cheer for me as I studied, but what really pushed me was my mother's suffering from COPD due to recurrent acute bronchitis. Her struggle to breathe saddened me as a child and instilled in me a strong desire and resolve to treat patients. I did not have the chance to alleviate her difficulty as a doctor, but I do my best for her through every patient I strive to impact for the better.What I want my patients to know about me:I am board-certified by the ABFM and a member of AAFP, and I have lived and practiced in Lebanon for over 20 years. I am married to my best friend and college sweetheart, and we have two wonderful adult children. I am interested in a wide scope of outpatient family medicine from newborn to elder care. I am especially interested in prevention and management of common medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid diseases, heart disease, and hypertension. Additionally, I manage many minor procedures. I believe that patients are not customers or clients, but rather family, friends and neighbors.What I do when I'm not seeing patients:I enjoy reading about religion and philosophy, and I like to sing and play the lute. I'm involved in different church worship and teaching activities.I enjoy biking, walking and traveling. Spending time with my wife and two children is my utmost joy. Dr. Gergis is highly rated in 5 conditions, 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.
