Family Medicine, Preventive Care & Vaccines: Dr. Quincy Harberger on Choosing a PCP, Red Flags, and Telehealth Host Kim welcomes Dr. Quincy Harberger, a family medicine physician, to explain what family medicine, PCPs, and internists mean and how primary care covers most patient needs. Dr. Harberger shares why he chose medicine and family practice, emphasizing problem-solving, long-term relationships, and treating the whole person. He offers green flags for choosing a doctor (especially word-of-mouth and authentic communication) and red flags (dismissiveness, poor listening, limiting concerns). They discuss patients self-educating online, managing health anxiety, the real purpose of annual physicals (prevention and screenings), and practical guidance on supplementation focused on goals, lifestyle, and multivitamins. Dr. Harberger strongly advocates vaccination, linking rising measles and other diseases to eroded trust post-COVID. He reviews symptoms not to ignore and shares how to contact First Cap Care in York County, PA, including telehealth options.
