Visiting the doctor is often associated with illness, but one of the most important relationships you can have is with your primary care physician and OBGYN. By going to yearly visits, your doctor can get to know your medical history and the two of you can build a relationship. The most essential part of attending your well visits? Early detection. Many things, if caught early, can be treated and taken care of much easier than if ignored or missed.
