Choose a Sharp-Affiliated Doctor in San Diego

Find a Sharp-affiliated primary care physician today!
Choosing a doctor is one the most important health care decisions you can make. You want someone who will be there when you need care and who can answer your questions.

This doctor will be your "personal" physician — or your primary care physician (PCP) — who will be familiar with your health history and coordinate all your health care. Primary care physicians usually specialize in family practice, internal medicine, general practice or pediatrics, and sometimes also OB/GYN.

Your primary care physician will:

  • Arrange for referrals to specialists
  • Assist with preventive services
  • Be knowledgeable about your medical history and overall medical condition
  • Be your personal health care advocate
  • Coordinate your medical care
  • Perform routine checkups
  • Treat illnesses and injuries

Why Select a Doctor Now?

Open enrollment is the time of year when people may make changes to their health insurance coverage for the next year. Many people also select their primary care physician at this time. Search for a Sharp-affiliated physician who accepts your insurance now. If you already have a doctor, you will need to select a health plan and medical group that includes your physician.
