In this April 9, 2019 photo, Dr. Megan Mahoney, center, examines patient Consuelo Castaneda, right, as medical scribe Anu Tirapasur documents the visit at the Stanford Family Medicine office in Stanford, Calif. Some patients are dropping their family doctor as other choices like telemedicine, walk-in clinics and free health screenings at work grow. But health care experts say the fragmented nature of care is precisely why people still need someone who looks out for their overall health. (Jeff Chiu/AP)
