You have a headache and you just go to a neurologist?

You want a colonoscopy so you just go to a gastroenterologist?

You have history of skin cancer so you go to a dermatologist every three months for a check up?

You twist your knee so you just show up for an MRI because you may have a torn ACL?
You have to go through your primary care doctor and they get referrals sent out for you for specialists and tests that are required.
