What do Family Medicine Physicians do?
Family Medicine Physicians provide comprehensive primary care to people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, focusing on both the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses.
They perform routine check-ups, manage conditions such as high blood pressure, administer vaccinations, offer health screenings, and provide lifestyle counseling to promote healthy living.
Additionally, they act as the primary point of contact for patients, coordinating their care and referring them to specialists when necessary to ensure the best overall health outcome.
Acute and Chronic Care: Treat immediate health issues (such as a cough or rash) and manage long-term conditions, including diabetes and heart disease.
Preventive Care: Offer routine physicals, health risk assessments, immunizations, and screenings for conditions such as high cholesterol, diabetes, and various types of cancer.
Lifestyle Counseling: Offer personalized advice on healthy lifestyle choices, including diet, exercise, and smoking cessation.
Diagnosis and Treatment: Assess health concerns, order tests, prescribe medications, and develop treatment plans.
Patient Education: Educate patients about their health conditions and empower them to set health goals and manage their care effectively.
Referral to Specialists: Act as a “quarterback” of care, coordinating with and referring patients to subspecialists for more in-depth or specialized care when needed.
Whole-Person Approach: Consider the patient’s overall health, family context, and social factors (such as access to resources) that may impact their well-being.
Minor Procedures: Perform a variety of in-office procedures, such as suturing lacerations, draining abscesses, or performing joint injections.
Why Choose a Family Physician?
Holistic Approach: They treat the whole person in the context of their family and community, addressing both physical and mental health needs.
Continuous Care: Family physicians can care for individuals and families throughout their entire lifespan, developing a deep understanding of their medical and personal histories.
Convenience: One doctor can provide care for the whole family, eliminating the need to visit different specialists for each family member.
