How Often Should I See a Primary Care Doctor?

If you're over 50 years old, you'll likely need to see a primary care doctor at least once a year. If you're under 50 and in good health, once every three years may be enough. If you're at risk for any health issues, this could be a factor in how often you should see a primary care doctor. You should ask the doctor how often they would recommend you go in for a visit.
