PeaceHealth Primary Care in Ketchikan

Primary Care

Primary care doctors treat more than the common cold. They also help you stay healthy and prevent illness. Your doctor will oversee your care, treating symptoms and answering questions about health and wellness. Seeing one doctor over many years has benefits, including the relationship you build with someone who understands your history of care.

If you see multiple doctors, your primary care doctor will keep an eye on all treatments and work with your other doctors. PeaceHealth’s primary care doctors are always here to help you manage your good health.
