False. I went into a first visit at a doctor office one time and after spending about five minutes total with me he sent me home with a BP Rx. No mention of verifying it with home readings to make sure I really need it and he didn't even bother giving me standard advice like lose weight. Most other doctors did only slightly better. Insurance only reimburses for like 10 minutes of their time, half of which is spent updating records, so it's unsurprising they don't have time to properly handle your problem.
