Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Hallie Bulkin explaining that clinicians look at the whole body and use signs and symptoms to decide when to refer patients to appropriate specialists (examples: pediatrician, orthodontist, ear/nose/throat). The clip emphasizes primary care's role in recognizing issues and directing patients to the correct specialist.
We look at the big picture, the whole body, and then we know who to refer you out to. So your pediatrician is going to be your pediatrician. Your orthodontist is going to be your orthodontist. Your ear, nose and throat doctor is going to be your nose and throat doctor. I'm not saying that we are specialists for each and every one of those, but we can see the signs and we can listen to your symptoms and being able to know who to refer you to, to be able to help you get to that next point.
