Primary Care Provider(PCP)

We have many doctors to handle your health care needs.  If you have not already done so, you will be asked to choose a Primary Care Provider (PCP) as the doctor you will see most often for your medical care.

Your PCP is part of the Texas Tech Family and Community Medicine Department dedicated to your healthcare needs. This doctor will be in clinic on certain days and may be available to see you on those days. Regardless, you will not have to wait several weeks to see your PCP if you call and schedule a same-day appointment with any of our doctors in clinic.
