What is Primary Care / Family Doctor?
Primary Care is a specialty of medicine devoted to the comprehensive health care of an individual throughout their life. Many primary care doctors know their patients personally and can diagnose a variety of ailments or refer their patient to another doctor outside of their expertise. They emphasize disease prevention and health promotion. They aim to earn the trust of the patient in order to make their practice a true family experience since they see patients of all ages.
Family Doctors VS Primary Care VS General Practice
Essentially the terms family doctor, primary care doctor (or physician) and general practice doctors all refer to the same medical specialty. Another way to think of it is that a family doctor provides primary care in a general practice doctor’s office. So, regardless of the term used these are the medical specialists that provide you with comprehensive health care throughout life.
SYMPTOMS & TREATMENTs in Primary / Family Care medicine?
Many people will see their primary care doctor for specific ailments that are outside their scope in order to get recommended to the appropriate specialist. They have a large role in preventative medicine, but do diagnose and treat illnesses. Primary care doctors perform routine checkups, administer immunizations and screen for illnesses. They are also known for providing care to the undeserved and rural population.
