Abstract
Primary care physicians should continue their efforts in disease prevention and also should expand their scope of service to support patients' interests in wellness and health optimization. Taking on this role will require additional time and continuing education, but by knowledgeably helping patients to maximize their health, physicians will provide a needed service, contribute to the health of their patients, and reap the rewards of a stronger doctor-patient bond.
