Family care physicians are trained to prevent, diagnose, and treat a wide variety of ailments in patients of all ages. In fact, of the 1.1 billion medical visits Americans make each year, almost half are to family care doctors.
Required to recertify more than any other medical specialty, family care physicians receive the most up-to-date training in a wide range of areas, including surgery, psychiatry, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Your family care physician will be familiar with your family’s health history, and can refer you to specialists when needed.
