Family Doctors |
|
A family doctor is a doctor who takes care
of the whole family. Family doctors may hold
one of the following medical degrees, either
M.D.,
MBBS,
MBChB, etc
or
D.O.
degree. Physician who specialize in family
medicine (also known as a family physician),
however, must complete a three-year family
medicine residency in addition to their
medical degree, and are eligible for the
board certification now required by most
hospitals and health plans.
Family doctors create caring relationships
with patients and their families. They
really get know their patients. They listen
to them and help them make the right health
care decisions. |

Family doctors take care of the physical, mental and
emotional health of both their patients and their
patients' families. They know the family's health
history and how it can affect them. They are trained
to care for family members through all the stages of
their lives.
Family doctors are trained in all areas of medicine.
They can diagnose and treat the full range of
problems people usually bring to their doctors. They
know when to treat you, and, if necessary, when to
bring in another specialist you can trust.
Although you might not have any health problems, but
it is recommended to have family doctor; because,
they are specially trained in preventive medicine.
It is believed that preventing a health problem is
better than having to overcome one. So, family
doctors can help you make the right health choices
to keep you and your family healthy.
