    It’s a special honor to get to know and care for a whole family on the level that a family physician can. I love that I get to go to work every day to try and make people’s lives better. To me, the doctorpatient relationship is an equal team where both members take an active role. The doctor’s most important role as that of educator. So my job is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision that fits best in your life. Your job is to buy into the plan we make together, remembering that pills alone are rarely enough, and lifestyle is very real medicine. It always makes my day when a patient comes back after working hard to make the changes we previously discussed, whether that’s cutting back on smoking, becoming more active, or trying to get diabetes under better control. Those successes, large or small, never stop inspiring me. Dr. Rasmussen is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data.

    I believe my job as a family physician is to meet patients wherever they are in their healthcare journeys, to understand their wellness goals, and ultimately help them achieve those goals. I enjoy getting to know my patients throughout their lifespans and working together to achieve health and wellness. I was drawn to family medicine because of its full scope and continuity of care: the ability to follow all members of the family throughout their lives. One of my favorite parts is practicing prenatal and obstetrical care. I also enjoy performing office procedures and have training in Osteopathic Manual Therapy (OMT), a handson medical therapy that helps the body heal itself by restoring balance and function. I practice evidencebased medicine, preventative care, and follow medical society guidelines, yet I understand that each person is unique and complex. With this, I enjoy having open dialogue and personalizing care based on each individual. Dr. Grove is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data.

    I am a lifelong learner who values close relationships. The challenge of medicine coupled with the opportunity to care for newborns and grandparents, and everyone in between makes family medicine the perfect match for me. I care for the whole person. To me, this means taking into account someone’s emotional, social, physical, and even spiritual needs, then working together to find the best next step in his or her care. I thoroughly enjoy providing handson treatment in the form of osteopathic manual medicine. Caring for children and young families is a special interest of mine.

    I believe that building a solid professional relationship based on trust is very important for helping patients navigate today’s health complexities. Now more than ever, I believe patients benefit from working with a welltrained physician who can connect the dots, put the whole health picture together, and coordinate their care. It is a privilege to account for what is most important for each patient and help them on their journey to optimal health. The most rewarding part of my job is establishing relationships with my patients. I care for my patients in the outpatient clinic, those admitted to the hospital, or who are critically ill in the ICU. This will provide familiarity for patients’ care. I focus on longterm goals, especially when managing chronic illness, and offer evidencebased advice. I am prepared to make a difference in my patients’ health from my training at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Hetzel is highly rated in 2 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.
