We often avoid visiting the doctor, mostly because we don't have time, because we're afraid of the cost of care, or simply because we don't want to receive bad news about our health. Putting the excuses aside can protect your health. You're not exaggerating when you decide to visit your doctor at least twice a year. With each visit to your primary care physician, you'll prevent problems, detect them, and treat them early.
When should I see a doctor?

Doctor visit for illness: Depending on the symptoms of your illness and their duration, you may or may not need to visit us. Many illnesses, such as seasonal colds, can be treated at home. However, if you experience alarming symptoms, you should see your doctor immediately. We do not recommend self-medicating.
Visit for chronic diseases: If you suffer from illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, HIV, among others, you should visit the doctor if new symptoms appear, in addition to the times your doctor indicates for your follow-up checkups.
Visit to the emergency room: We recommend first learning about the warning signs to avoid unnecessary expenses, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, vision problems, dizziness, loss of balance, bleeding, poisoning, allergic reaction, among others.
