Tag: Same doctor

According to a 2018 review of 22 studies from nine countries, patients who consistently saw the same doctor showed a significant reduction in mortality rates. The question of whether you should use the same doctor is therefore not just about convenience but can have a profound impact on your long-term health.

According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health, individuals who see the same doctor over an extended period have a lower risk of early death. For many, the question of whether to extend this continuity to all household members—a topic often summarized as, “Should the whole family have the same doctor?”—is a complex decision with significant implications for care coordination, convenience, and individual privacy.
