The Critical Importance of Primary Care
Primary Care is critical because it is a patient’s first or primary contact with the medical system. Dr. Downing has been a practicing Primary Care Physician for over 20 years.
Dr Downing had been with First Physician’s Group in Sarasota for over 11 years. Prior to that he had worked for three years in a “free clinic” providing Primary Care to the uninsured in Southern New Hampshire as a National Health Service Scholar.
The experience gained during those years has been invaluable in helping hone his diagnostic skills. Uncommon illnesses may present with common symptoms. Early diagnosis is critical. Experience matters.
